current and past projects

Little Wimmin

writer, director, performer

An unorthodox apocalyptic adaptation of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott that examines how we think about the past, what’s wrong with the present and what we’re going to do about the future...if there even is one. Blurring the boundaries of live art, music, theatre and comedy Little Wimmin is a wild, irreverent and cosmically comical show that dismantles the traditional canon to make way for the doomed future of humankind.

"Revelling in brazen, absurdist satire, outlandish performance collective Figs in Wigs do anything but revere the 19th-century classic...  An ode to storytelling, and an anarchic glimpse of how much fun experimental performance art can have."

Wind in the Willows

writer, director, performer



An updated, outer space inspired, femme retelling of Wind in the Willows. The show is about the power of friendship and collective action. The loudest, most anarchic and seriously silliest portrayal of Kenneth Graeme’s story to date! A Cambridge Junction Christmas commission.

Often Onstage 

writer, director, performer

Often Onstage is an offbeat facetious romp that explores the ins and outs of theatre through the medium of dance. This hallucinogenic prog dance show is an explosion of nods to the new, bows to the bard, blood baths and drag kings. With one step forward and two hundred steps back, this choreographic exercise in comings and goings gleefully disrupts traditional theatrical conventions.. unearthing dormant anxieties about life choices along the way.

‘Boisterously charismatic...practically radioactive’ ★★★★ The Observer
