Scary Little Girls

Two of the country's most exciting and dynamic production companies have joined forces in an unforgettable fusion of comedy, theatre, puppetry, magic and song.

"A unique blend of sketch show and cabaret underpinned by a truly funny and engaging theme" - Total Theatre

"Moulin Rouge meets Angela Carter" **** - Three Weeks

Fresh from sell-out successes at the Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton Fringe, the End of the Road, Larmer Tree, Maker and Du Maurier festivals, Scary Little Girls and Trifle Gathering Productions bring you The Mother's Ruin.

Borrowing influences from empire bordellos, literary salons and music hall, The Mother's Ruin vividly evokes the glory days of the Victorians and London's swinging 20's, blending the wit and romance of a bygone time with quirky physical comedy and some of today's finest stand up and music performers.

"Seamless performers and lovely singers" - The Scotsman

**** - Fest Magazine

Sit back and cling to your cocktails as Liberty Hightail and her eclectic troop introduce you to a series of weird and wonderful experiences including:

A Wilde Night

An anarchic look at some of the Victorian era's literary icons through music, sketches, guests and games followed by DJs till late.  The Brownings, the Brontes and of course Oscar Wilde himself will all be celebrated in this tongue-in-cheek homage to authors and inebriates!

G&T Dance

DJs playing vintage vinyl and dancers in evening dress on hand to lead fox trots, waltzes and other ballroom favourites with an abundance of cucumber sandwiches and gin fizz on hand!

The Waird Sisters

3 hilarious mediums in search of somebody... somewhere...

Zodiac

All the way from the little village of Chesneyhawks, this "fine" gymnastic team demonstrate just why they should be at the opening ceremony of the Olympics (rather than competing for a medal).

"The belly laughs from the audience are testament to the potential of this daft bunch" - Crackerjack
