AUNTIE EMPIRE

Auntie is a sweet old dear, and a jolly good raconteur. All she wants to do is regale us with tales of dear old Blighty, but her body is literally collapsing and crumbling. Oh dear. Best not to mention it.

This sing-along bouffon show which draws on stand-up, body horror and theatrical monologue performance is an absurd and rambunctious contemporary satire on Britain. The first public scratch of this exciting new work is at Manipulate in February 2025.
