"I’m not going to tell you her hair colour. Her skin colour. Her name. All you need to know, right now, is that she is a person. Walking up a street. A street that you know. A street we all know.”

Half Pixies-style rock-gig, half monologue, this fierce and playful feminist work explores the psychology of extremism through the story of a woman intent on blowing the patriarchy sky-high. With haunting melodies and progressive punk riffs this ‘dynamite hour of sexual politics’ (★★★★ The Guardian) is ‘one of the most memorable shows of the year’ (★★★★ The Scotsman, 2017).
