What is Darling about?
A couple of years ago I found a box filled with a woman’s most treasured memories, and created a show all about her life. I knew the odds of it ever happening again were a trillion to one, and so I decided to create my own imaginary box belonging to Malvina Steiger-Clayworth, whose formative years were lived in the Roaring Twenties, in the middle of Boston, Massachusetts. And while I enjoy writing the episodes, I particularly love playing Malvina, who is pretty much my polar opposite.
