    ARCHIVE
    A multimedia theatre experience about Shelley Duvall, gore, girls, and glitter. Duvall’s “inconvenient” emotionality sets us veering between burlesque routines, buckets o’ blood, & the terror/joy of becoming the blob.

    GORE. GIRLS. GLITTER.
    A multimedia burlesque fantasia about Shelley Duvall.

    Horny for horror? Freaky for feminism?
    Fancy a lap dance from Jack Nicholson?

    When directing The Shining, Stanley Kubrick reportedly made Shelley Duvall film one scene 127 times. It took 3 weeks. By the end of it, her hands were scraped raw & her voice was hoarse. In the scene as captured on film, she’s a puddle of snot, a total wreck – as Stephen King said at the time, a “screaming dishrag."
    Should we be watching her? Is this acting or just a woman being genuinely tortured?

    GASH is reframing the horror movie genre to uncover whether it is truly as misogynistic as we fear or instead a celebration of the craft of female hysteria.

    Come join our ooey gooey fleshy blobby spectacular of bodily fluids!

    "Queens of Kitsch, @GashTheatre create a pop culture-infused sci-fi epic with cabaret flair. With trademark irreverence, the duo dissect our society’s alienating body & sex standards via a multimodal, luridly sensual, delectably vulgar adventure."
    Fringe Biscuit [on previous work]
    "I can’t recommend this delightfully weird and unique production enough"
    Broadway Baby [on previous work]
    "To attempt to explain or describe Maddie Flint and Nathalie Ellis-Einhorn’s multi-media ode to sci-fi and sexuality feels almost wrong. No piece of writing could convey the irreverent, referential, meme-laced madness that unfolds along this space voyage. "
    The Wee Review [on previous work]
    "An amusing and provocative show."
    The Scotsman [on previous work]
    "Weird, wonderful, totally not linear but gloriously perceptive and thoughtful."
    London Pub Theatres [on previous work]
    "A kitschy, thought-provoking meditation on masculinity."
    Fringe Biscuit [on previous work]
    "The ambition and fearlessness displayed makes this compelling, entertaining, and a sign that Gash Theatre has the talent to deliver even more in the near future."
    Everything Theatre [on previous work]

    Great theatre, lovely young team, brilliant supportive diverse programming, the only theatre I can think of that is currently supporting so many theatremakers.
