REVIEW EXTRACTS
'A heady mix of monologue, stand up comedy and cabaret… an original piece of theatre: challenging, uncomfortable, funny, shocking… and entertaining along the way.' Rainbow Network

'As she peels away the fake femininity her own unspecified gender takes shape – discomfiting as well as enlightening viewing.' Time Out

'The female counterpart to Quentin Crisp.' Evening Standard

CURRENT PRODUCTION
H To He (I’m Turning into a Man) Inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis, H to He adds new twists in the maze of gender identity and sexuality.

(60 mins approx., 1 on stage, 2 on the road, strong language and adult themes)
