Give Me Pity!
Part of the Night Moves Strand
In the style of old-time American TV specials, Sissy St Clare pulls out all the stops for her one-woman special. She’s got song and dance numbers, sketches, question time, many an outfit change and also — perhaps — a stalker. One of the two Amanda Kramer films screening in this year’s EIFF, Give Me Pity is a glitter-infused extravaganza with a simmering undercurrent of unease and an absolute showstopper performance by Sophie Von Haselberg.
