LINDA(?) is pure panic. Everyone has arrived to her party far too early and she is still attempting to put together the perfect party. Everything must be perfect. All the best dance party classics are ready at the push of the button and if she keeps these playing on repeat and feeding everyone cake everything will be okay right? Without a single word she is constantly at the mercy of her darling party guests, hoping to please them through extreme giggles and smiles. She is the ultimate altruist at heart, always putting everyones needs before her own, perhaps to her own detriment... Throughout the piece she plays terribly eccentric party tricks and offers an obscene amount of cake, cream and of course sprinkles!

LINDA(?) plays with elements of grotesque, whilst edging on hysteria, through the use of visceral images, tears, and laughter. The piece looks at how far women have been taught to cater to other people's needs whilst looking good in pink.

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.
