Join us as we speak with Debbie Bridge a singer, actor and performer who will be performing her piece Shirley the middle aged Siren at The Chichester Fringe this week.
Shirley the middle-aged Siren is a delightful exploration of the trials and tribulations faced by a middle-aged female siren, washed ashore in Chichester from the bustling metropolis of New York. Through witty anecdotes and soul-stirring melodies, Shirley bares her heart, tackling themes of aging, body image, and resilience in a refreshingly candid manner
Her journey, marked by years of chronic pain and uncertainty, has only strengthened her resolve and resilience. Through sheer determination and a deep understanding of her body, Debbie continues to pursue her passion for performance while advocating for greater awareness around disability issues.
