Batty
Have you got a wild side?
Batty has. She dreams of running barefoot, wild swimming, of talking trees, strange animals and the scent of the seasons turning. In fact she’s starting to wonder if she might be a witch…
Join Batty and her companion Wildthing for gossip, gay abandon, exquisite tenderness and raucous stories (with a side order of ranting), as they explore the magic and power of ageing.
This new production from Victoria Firth & Company explores the wildness – as opposed to madness – of women, and how our feral side can reconnect us to ourselves and our environment.
“Sincere, frequently funny and a reminder that there is much more to mid-life than
hot flushes”
– The Scotsman
“a bold, funny, and poignant exploration of identity, transformation, and wildness”
– SheffHerd
