Description

Snatched from obscurity and thrust into the spotlight, schoolgirl Michelle Latchford was transformed into Hollywoods hottest property: Mimi Luck. Now the reclusive Mimi is barricaded in her rural hideaway as a paparazzo lurks outside, scrutinised by her watchful agent, and haunted by the memory of the boy all the other kids called God.
Brilliantly shifting between fantasy and reality and the past and the present, acclaimed playwright Glyn Maxwell tackles celebrity and sanity in this world premiere.
Mimi and the Stalker premiered at the Theatre503 in September 2008.
