Follow the funny, raw and honest journey of one woman as she dances with the hospital system for more than two decades to become a self-proclaimed Professional Patient.
In this unique (maybe a little absurd) comedic celebration of hospital life, Anita shares stories about friendships made, friends lost, and the angels that kept her alive.
Anita uses anecdote, observational and sketch comedy to have you falling in love with hospitals, nurses and catheters.
Nominated “Best in Comedy” at last year’s Sydney Fringe Festival, Anita is described as “having great comic delivery and joy inducing commitment to the physciality” Theatre Reds.
During her Adelaide Fringe season, Anita laughed with nurses, hugged fellow patients and answered the unspeakable questions of surgeons and medical professionals.
Winner of Sydney Fringe’s “Best Emerging Artist” in 2023, Anita is excited to bring back the show as part of the Made in Sydney – Return Winners season at PACT Centre for Emerging Artists this September.
**** “Anita Lovell turns lived experience into a lesson in patience, gratitude and humanity”. “Uplifiting, poignant, and life-affirming, Between the Curtains is a show that cackles with energy and emotion” Binge Fringe.
