Cockroach

04 Mar 2022

Chloe Mantripp

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+

Post-show Q&A, 3 March

There will be a Q&A with Chloe Mantripp after the performance on Thursday. Free to all ticket holders for Thursday’s performance
