Description

In BULLISH, ancient mythology meets modern gender negotiation. Inspired by Ovids Minotaur, a gender fierce ensemble of hopers and renegades try to pass, pack and blag their way out of the labyrinth. JOAN: An earthy story of courage, conviction and hope, this is Joan of Arc. Performed by drag king champion Lucy Jane Parkinson, historys greatest gender-warrior takes to the stage, dragging up as the men she defies in this smash-hit show. A fearless solo play with uproarious songs about what it means to stand out, stand up and stand alone.
