I, Claudia

by Kristen Thomson

Claudia is an official pre-teen, still reeling from her parents' divorce. Her father is getting re-married, she has a science fair project coming due, and she is in the physical and emotional throes of puberty. Finding refuge in the basement of her school, Claudia discovers the pain at the centre of her brimming child's heart. Some important adults in Claudia's life—her grandfather, her father's new girlfriend, and the school custodian—shed light on her situation.

Winner of the 2001 Dora Mavor Awards for outstanding new play - I, Claudia and Outstanding Performance by a Female in a Principal Role - Kristen Thomson

"Kristen Thomson's portrait of a wonderfully winsome young woman
trembling on the cusp of adolescence is one of the freshest things to hit the stage in many a season... I, Claudia is blissfully funny and unexpectedly touching."

“Kristen Thomson is the real theatrical thing...she can rock her audience—she certianly rocked me—on a regular basis with lines and moments that are hilariously funny, totally unexpected and unimpeachably true.” —Robert Cushman National Post
