Marina di Marzo: Love in the Time of Fifth Grade

by Marina di Marzo

2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug18+

Before age ten, Marina di Marzo was an unstoppable romantic force. After eleven? A cautionary tale. This New York comedian digs into her early 2000s childhood – armed with MS Paint, Sharon Stone, and her Italian heritage – to figure out exactly when and why it all went wrong. Expect real stories of Austen-level passion from primary school, Dickensian heartbreak from middle school onward and a Disney channel inspired pop song you didn’t see coming. Oh, and at some point she flashes her bra. It makes sense in context. Mostly.
