Until her thought-to-be-long-gone childhood friend, Biscuit, shows up out of the blue.
You'd Look So Pretty If
25 - 29 JANUARY
You’d look so pretty if you smiled, or you wore makeup. If you showed off your legs, or you just made more of a damn effort. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? This is a provocative, horrific, comedic and contemporary performance, that will leave you feeling contemplative, and ready to scream.
