Victoria Maxwell

Crazy For Life

Written and performed by Victoria Maxwell BFA, BPP*
Directed by Rondel Reynoldson

Crazy For Life, is a ‘tour-de-force’ one-woman show of Victoria Maxwell’s roller-coaster ride with bi-polar disorder. A brave, funny, and compelling look at experiencing, surviving, and coming to terms with mental illness. Actor/writer/educator Victoria Maxwell takes us ‘round the bend, and back again: from meditation groups to hospital psych wards, from black depressions to manic highs and psychedelic psychoses. Most memorable moment: joyfully running down the street… naked… in posh Point Grey, playing hide n’ seek with the Divine. In Toronto she performed to sold-out audiences and rave reviews. Last September, she ‘hit the boards’ in England and continues to tour throughout North America and Europe, being translated into both Japanese and Spanish. An award-winning actress and playwright with over 15 years experience, Victoria has worked alongside David Duchovny, John Travolta and Johnny Depp, among others, and appears on stages and in films across North America.
