Wicked Annabella is a witch who lives in the woods and wants to eat your children. Or perhaps she’s just an independent home-owner living off the grid?
Galvanised by generations of songs about women, written into existence by men, this project brings these fabled characters to life and shares the alternative stories they might tell if given the mic.
Wicked funny and wicked smart, this bedroom-rave of a show weaves together non fiction, fan fiction and wild conjecture.
From Eleanor Rigby and Roxanne to Stacey’s mum, Wicked Annabella is a 60 minute reclaiming and celebration of pop culture for anyone who spent their teens in HMV.
Come for a giggle, stay for the raging feminist agenda.
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.
