TWO HALVES:
a narrated songbook

In February 2021, Chopson presented a piece of original solo theatre, a play-with-music, which was 6 months, 3 grants, and 2 project mentors in the making. 

​

The show took place for two consecutive nights with limited live seating (following COVID-19 restrictions) at Minnetrista Convention Center in Muncie, Indiana. 

​

The autobiographical coming-of-age story brought the poetry of Sylvia Plath together with the sounds of a Nashville evangelical megachurch and the fragility of a young female heart. 

​

"[Alexandra's] stories and her songs are a constant and awkward collision of atoms and impulse; a deep and human landscape of want, of regret, of hope." 

- Matthew Reeder, director

​

This excerpt from the play contains the original song Lady Lazarus, which takes many of its lyrics from the Sylvia Plath poem of the same title. Copyright Alexandra Chopson
