Jane Clifton is a seasoned expert in both performance and comedy, both of which are front-and-centre in her show, A Day At A Time In Rhyme!

Using the four seasons as a framing device, A Day At A Time in Rhyme takes us into a year of Jane’s life as she peels back the layers to share her witty – and often poignant – observations on life, particularly from an older woman’s perspective, which we don’t often hear or see on stage.
