‘Shall we just retire to the lake?’ is a satirical, glitzy, feminist, cabaret-dance-theatre duet. Using satire and humour, it makes a ridiculous display of outdated gender roles, explores ways in which we can subvert them, and offers new possibilities for us all to try on for size.
Get your microfibre cloths ready, we are coming to a theatre near you - armed with cleaning products, fake smiles and sequins - to rewrite all you have ever known...
Originally commissioned by Sadler’s Wells, London, as part of 'Young Associates Mixed Bill 2018' and further developed with support from Yorkshire Dance, Northern School of Contemporary Dance and Leeds Dance Partnership through their Accelerate programme.

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
