‘One of the festival’s most experimental and challenging shows…Schwab would have appreciated it.’ Irish Independent (The Chair Women)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Fanny Trollope A performance inspired by the very first British travelogue of America, The Domestic Manners of the Americans. Wittily and wickedly depicting Mrs Trollope’s very English view of the Americans and her disillusionment with the American Dream and democracy. A playful piece, which explores world issues through the correct use of the knife and fork. (6 on the road.)
