THE SPICE BOYS
In conjunction with 'WHAT IS A WOMXN? we invite our Drag King alter egos the 'SPICE BOYS' to throw their caps in the ring asking Is gender something we are, something we do or something that’s done to us? We attempt to colour the void between pink and blue, undressing the social evolution of gender conventions across sexuality and culture, DRAGing ourselves into the 21st century. |

Full of fantasy, frivolity, play and farce, our adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream is the Shakespearean show from all of your mystical dreams. We traverse the tangled web of L-O-V-E through the bold and beautiful vision of our beloved Bard… with a gendered twist. Suited to stages or railway gardens.

The Nutcracker
Dinner and a Show Winter The final instalment of our seasonal cabarets' in
17 love lane, was The Nutcracker. We showcased the spills and thrills of the Christmas season through the all-cried-out eyes of modern women. Politically 'en pointe' and packed with powerful performances we bought forth our rendition of this traditional fairy-tale. Tchaikovsky would have been pirouetting in his grave...

The Harvest Festival
Dinner and a Show Autumn As we fell through the autumn equinox, cycles clashed and we pondered what it meant to truly harvest.
A storm approached, reaping a desolate world where we met Gaia and her marvellous creatures in our harvest festival. Photo Credit: @Gianluca Schettino |

A-void
"Are you ready to enter A-Void?
In a world post-Brexit, let the women of A-Void *Cult™ drive you on the road to unlightenment. Post-Truth never looked so sexy…" A-VOID was a dark comedy performance piece which invited its audience to journey with them through an exploration of cult mentality, body politics and propaganda… quite literally as it took place on a bus. Inspired largely by the propaganda of the 2016 ‘Leave’ campaign bus for Brexit, Donald Trump’s meteoric and baffling rise to power and other political catastrophes, A-Void commanded its viewers to surrender themselves to their Void. |
