Description
**Sunday showing at 6pm | Monday showing at 7pm**
This devised performance by Penny Drop Productions navigates the realities of ageing, independence, and perceptions of women alone... but we promise it’s fun! With dancing, driving lessons and dinner plates, Penny Drop can’t wait to meet you.
Three young girls. Three young women? Three young LADIES are trying to navigate the working world, revelling in the apparent confidence that they’ve been taught to display by LinkedIn profiles, career advisors and their mums. This performance is interrupted by their next door neighbour - a much older lady, who confuses them with her contentedness and solitary, gentle life. When presented with a confusing, spiky gift they’re forced to address the fact that they don’t actually know what to do next.
This is a show that uses clowning, choreography and off-the-wall dialogue to capture that feeling of ‘faking it til you make it’. It explores how stepping into the corporate world as a young woman often requires a carefully crafted performance.
Lady’s Fingers was initially created in Spring 2024, and, following a sold out run at the Alma Tavern theatre in Bristol in May of 2024, returns with a developed and expanded work to share with new audiences in 2025.
All tickets include a £1 admin charge
