Amelia Hills is pregnant with the Antichrist, and theyre not sure what to do next. Equal parts silly and horrifying, join them for an hour of high camp body horror exploring transness, fear of pregnancy and shame.Combining object theatre and cabaret, Amelia Hills (***** Physical. Visceral. Ecstatic. - The Tab) tracks an imagined journey of being pregnant with the spawn of Satan, and explores exactly why the idea of pregnancy as a trans person can feel like the end of the fucking world.

ANTICHRIST revels in the glory of reclaimed monstrosity. Hills walks the line between the authentic, bizarre, and riotous in an hour long satanic panic craze. Inspired by all the classic horror tropes, from the naff to the downright terrifying, hilarity and horror combine in a truly visceral experience. Going from shame to monstrous empowerment, ANTICHRIST is a ritualistic queer celebration of fear without shame, and a love letter to all of the monsters we hide within ourselves.

Amelia Hills is a theatre-maker, puppeteer and performer who makes work exploring alienation and bodily experiences as a trans person. They have worked on multiple professional productions as a performer and deviser and developed their own work at Scratch and Cabaret nights across London and Brighton. They are a co-founder of CRABS!, a London based absurdist queer performance night held seasonally at The Glory.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
