DIVERSE FAMILIES COMMUNITY DAY & VERBATIM THEATRE WORKSHOP

Lucy Mellors presents

It is I, Seagull

Tues 15th and Weds 16th April 9:00pm

Tickets £12 - £18 (+ booking fee)

What would you sacrifice to achieve something extraordinary? Explore searing truths about current and historical sexism in this hilarious celebration of joy, failure, opera & the first woman in space.

Comedy writer and opera singer Lucy Mellors has had enough.

Enough of groveling to all-powerful male directors.
Enough of being judged for eating a biscuit.
Enough of singing by the bras at the back of Marks and Spencer.
Enough of sacrificing her mental health in pursuit of a dream.

Intertwining Lucy’s experiences as an award-winning opera singer with the stories of Valentina Tereshkova (the first woman in space) and Valentina Ponomaryova (almost the first woman in space). 'It is I, Seagull' is a hilarious celebration of self-esteem, joy, failure, opera and space travel.

Fusing opera and comedy, Lucy exposes current and historical sexism to explore what it takes to achieve something extraordinary, and... is it worth it?
