Take Shakespeare’s ‘Seven Ages of Man’, put it in a variety of cheap wigs, teach it
the juke box of a regional gay bar, roll it in a whole lot of glitter, and-
with the help of a friend -you have Holly Morgan’s righteous and
outrageous show, Seven Crazy Bitches.
Resigned to his designated box, Shakespeare himself (or rather, Tom Moores) must watch while Morgan, with sass and charm, playfully interacts with the audience and casually rips
apart and puts back together his meanings and words with the world’s leading
divas.
Join this Edinburgh Festival Fringe first-timer, The Diva on a Budget, as she ‘guides’
you through the Seven Ages of Woman using only the best cardboard props and
finest questionable impressions. Pit stops include seduction techniques via
Kate Bush, an interview with the woman who lived in Prince’s head and finding
out just how many 2p pieces a man can insert up his foreskin. This is Stand Up
Comedy Cabaret (Standaret? Cabedy?) as you’ve never seen it before, because The
Diva’s pretty sure that she just invented it…
Directed by Esh Alladi and just returned from sell-out run at the VAULT Festival,
underneath Waterloo Station in London, this (literal) underground success is
ready to storm new cities with her off-brand and off-colour sense of humour in
this feminist fancy-dress quest to finally hit the wig time.
