Applause (Applaus)
Paprika Steen gives a fearless, award-winning performance in this acclaimed portrait of a woman coping with alcohol addiction, divorce, the loss of custody of her two sons and the unbearable burden of simply getting through another day clean and sober. Thea (Steen) is an acclaimed actress, winning rave reviews for her stage performance as Martha in Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Yet her personal life is as volatile as the play, as she emerges from a lengthy spell in rehab desperate to prove her love to her sons and regain a measure of self-respect. The influence of John Cassavetes is strongly felt in this brilliant tour de force.
