An Evening of Bull


Nicholsons Upstage

Step into a vibrant cabaret where the ancient myth of the Minotaur is reinterpreted through the eyes of Ariadne. As she unravels the truth behind the twisted legacy she’s inherited, she dares to challenge the myths that uphold patriarchal control. No mere bystander, she is a force of change, navigating the labyrinth of power, truth and identity. Driven by a genre-blending score and powerful, poetic storytelling, both psychological and political, this production transports audiences into a living labyrinth and invites them to question the stories we accept, systems we uphold and who really controls the narrative.

    The Domestiques

    They’re sisters! They’re lovers! They’re cross-dressing murders! Two maids play out a sadomasochistic wet dream of killing their boss… until the line between their fantasies and reality blurs. Two actors swap parts each performance, role-playing servant and master, indulging their fantasies of control and wealth while on the clock as housemaids. Inspired by anti-capitalist metatheatrical play The Maids, Jean Genet’s response to the Papin murders in 1930s France which he saw as an act of political and social rebellion. Drag performance, audience interaction and gender-f*ckery are utilized to explore rituals of repression and revolt.Directed and Produced by | Rory James LeechAdapted by | Venus Cobb after Jean GenetDramaturgy by | Brin Constant GordonPerformed by | Kayla Dobbs and Aviana GlovePresented by | Misfit Toys Collectivemisfittoyscollective.cargo.site/instagram.com/misfittoyscollective/
