    Join Katie for a camp, chaotic cabaret about the Pill. And Vampires.

    When it comes to contraception, things are better than they were – but that’s a low bar.
    Exploring all things hormonal, from the delightful to the unexpectedly dark, this is PhD research as you’ve never seen it before – drawing on interviews, autobiography, archival research and a teenage Twilight obsession.. Be prepared for audience participation, bingo, lollipops and country singing.*

    *Side Effects may include laughter, rage, and an aversion to ketchup.
