Back in 2013 Juliette Burton wowed the Edinburgh Fringe with her first solo show, When I Grow Up. Flash forward to now, and alongside a good handful of fantastic reviews, Juliette's about to tour Australia with Imagination Workshop and is filming a web-series with Wildseed Studios, as well as working on her next show. In amongst all that though, she's found time to squeeze in a couple of last outings of When I Grow Up – so if you missed out the first time round, get booking!
As a child, Juliette wanted to be many things. From ballerina to Muppet, princess to farmer, her list of dream jobs was as varied as it was long. Luckily for audiences everywhere, she ended up as a writer, actress and one half of ace comedy duo Mace & Burton. But did Juliette have it right when she was younger? And did life get in the way of picking the correct path?
Skip ahead to 2014, and Juliette’s on a mission. Her new show, When I Grow Up, takes a look back at the careers that could have been. In a bid to realize as many of her childhood ambitions as possible, Juliette’s research for the show has included everything from volunteering at a farm, taking princess lessons, a week at patisserie school and learning what it takes to be a successful Muppet. Now’s your chance to find out what she learnt – and whether she discovered her true vocation in the process!
Does what we do make us who we are? And does growing up mean letting go?
