OLD WOMAN
NAKED
Done being invisible, 72-year-old writer/performer Pamela Redmond gets naked - metaphorically and literally - to reveal the emotional and often-hilarious truth about female bodies, aging, and life.
Old Woman Naked is a bold, funny and deeply moving solo show about one woman’s journey through sex, shame, love, motherhood and freedom, to self-acceptance. Along with her clothes, Redmond strips away the silence surrounding women’s aging bodies. She unravels how a woman’s sexuality evolves – and endures – across a lifetime.
Redmond’s inspiration: Wanting to do something AI couldn’t do. “That meant a live show and a personal story, something real, something human.”
