A lonely Secretary remains in the office after all the others have gone home. From her little corner, using photos from old film magazines, she escapes into a world of daydreams, where she is a glamorous movie star from the 1940s and finds her ideal love at last. But as the story unravels, as imagination and reality collide, her romantic tale becomes a Hitchcock nightmare! This one woman show reveals the obsessions and dangers of Romantic fantasies. The language of black and white cinema is transformed into the “low-tech” universe of Paper Cut-outs and object theater, creating a tension that is absurd, painful and humorous.
“…Paper Cut, one of those artfully quirky solo performances… Ms. Rasooly deftly combines premise and execution, basically by playing with paper dolls… Ms. Rasooly has directed herself confidently in this work of paper-and-object theater, and she wrote the sweetly zany script with Lior Lerman. Their inspired wackiness reaches its height when a death is demonstrated by the violent repeated thrusts underwater of what I believe was a tea bag fighting for its life. The show’s overall effect is magnified by flawlessly chosen, mood-setting movie background music. (I’m pretty sure I heard a few bars from Gone With the Wind).” - Anita Gates, The New York Times, August 23, 2011
