Led by an anarchic and relentlessly offensive heroine, Cockroach is socio-political physical theatre, up to the eyeballs in metaphorical filth.
“Unsettling” The Scotsman
This gritty, funny and moving solo show, deftly shifts between the personal, the political and the epic – offering a brazen contemplation on consumption and objectification that questions where we place stigma, as we hurtle towards climate catastrophe.
★★★★ “Darkly comedic physical theatre about sex work and climate change” The Stage
Will the end just be a non-event? Such a pitiful, limp, mouth-vomit of an eruption, that the universe rolls over, shrivelled and ashamed of what just happened?
Suitable for ages 16+
