Charles Darwin described female animals like he described Victorian housewives: passive, coy, monogamous, submissive… the perfect foil to those swashbuckling males who are really driving evolution, as the old-school textbooks say.
It’s time to set the record straight by writing a riotous comedy cabaret show based on zoologist Lucy Cooke’s non-fiction book “B*TCH”, featuring a kaleidoscope of songs written by women and non-binary creative teams and a script by me!
Stand by for self-cloning lizards, pairs of devoted albatross mums and post-menopausal killer whales as they take the mic, scuttling/swooping/swimming onto stage to challenge outdated binary expectations of bodies, brains, biology and behaviour.
Come and see the very first 10 minutes of the show on Thursday 30th October at LAMDA’s Sainsbury Theatre, as part of The Scratch – a new material night hosted by Wooden Arrow! See a fun video I made for Instagram, and get tickets here.
