Expertly written by Robyn Grant and brought to you by Fat Rascal Theatre enter the world of Vulvarine, set in High Wycombe you will realise that nothing ever happens here, or does it? A tale of feminism in action we all laughed at the irony simultaneously realising that the irony is reality. As five talented actors seamlessly switch roles throughout to guide you on a musical adventure like no other.
Clever set design, and top shelf sound and lighting, Vulvarine is a superhero love story set in a tax office, and is a top class act showing fringe newbies how it is done. Add into the mix a class burst of the ‘floss’, a well timed bolt of lightening, a talking cat and tampon tax mystery, and you’ve scratched the surface.
We laughed, we chortled, we considered. Your laugh muscles will get a workout, trust me. If you’re a man or a woman or neither or both you’ll enjoy Vulvarine, if you’re not into musicals don’t worry, you will enjoy Vulvarine.
Ladies, etc, you don’t have to put up with this shit anymore. The time is now. Equality? We have that already, don’t you know? Just watch out for mister fat shamer, if you thought mansplainer was bad…
Vulvarine?
Thank you.
