Catherine (Work in Progress) @ Battersea Arts Centre

Jack Boal’s explosively tender show on the state of care in England.

On the coast of Lincolnshire, Catherine sits down for her nightly ritual of telly. But as the waves crash and seagulls call, another force quietly encroaches upon her delicate sanctuary.

Inspired by the fictional characters of Victoria Wood and the real women in Jack’s life, drag and realism meet for an entertaining and truthful revelation on the cost of care.

Think dinnerladies meets Bertolt Brecht.
