Friday 10th June
People are Cats People are Dogs – Stepping Out Theatre
Fri 10th June
7:30pm
The Theatre Shop
Five darkly comic Covid era monologues, created by Bristol writer Mark Breckon. Dark satire runs through these linked female monologues from dystopian, Covid haunted nightmares of dogs, cats and giant beetles to the excruciating cringes that sometimes come from working in theatre. Snappy, tightly woven, and occasionally hilarious, this show is a foretaste of the play’s trip to the Edinburgh Fringe later in the season.
“Pivoted beautifully from humour to sadness to the occasionally shocking moment. Original and engaging series of pieces.”
Formed in 1997, based in Bristol, and with ninety-four productions to its credit, Stepping Out Theatre is the country’s leading mental health theatre group.
