Produced and Presented by Lopsided Arts & Emma Bentley
Nessa’s drinking a cuppa she probably can't afford.
ding-a-ling — someone walks into the caff. (That’s caff, not café.)
Wait, isn’t that...?
Emma Bentley’s latest solo show cracks open the heads of four women, wanting and questioning, whose search for comfort leads them to the fried embrace of the greasy spoon.
Take a seat in the world of tea in white mugs and having a cheeky Kit Kat for breakfast pudding. This is the place you can show up how you like, whether that’s in your scruffiest hoodie or your Fred Perry queer armour.
After a critically-acclaimed run at The Hope Theatre this October, this "captivating" production directed by Moses Gale is back for seconds, giving you a chance to people-watch from the best seat in the caff.
Come for the fry up. Stay for the gossip.
★★★★ “absorbing and entertaining” (Everything Theatre)
★★★★ “a finely crafted piece of storytelling” (Reviews Hub)
