‘He’s seen my Foo Foo. He’s seen my cave of wonders. The hidden but not-so-lost city of Atlantis. I might need to get another therapist.’
Nympho is trapped in the nostalgia of the 00s, afraid to confront her sexual past and the havoc it’s unleashing on her life. Sex therapy, dildos and a booty call named Jake can’t save her now. Described by the Scotsman as "infectious" and "darkly comic", Martha May Markham’s debut play unleashes itself on the Calm Down Dear festival for one night, and one night only following sold-out performances at the Edfringe 2022 . Hold onto your pants, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
