Description This cabaret was created by the company together with Paula Webb and John Flanagan.

"This latest show by much acclaimed Monstrous Regiment is a sometimes witty, sometimes whingeing portrait of women in the 'nineties. In an admirably various parade of music, song, dance, comic sketches and even contortions, three female performers and one token New Man grapple with the confusing tenets of post-feminism, sex, food, fashion, body image, motherhood, menstruation, role models and, as they say in the Lonely Hearts, much, much more. Audience participation is at a premium: you will be asked to offer a piece of footwear for the purposes of divination; to compose a song, vote on the aesthetics of hastily assembled outfits, learn the new, non-sexist language, 'espadrille' and share with all present the contents of your bathroom cabinet."
