Batty!

BATTY! Is an alternative coming of age story. A story of a woman who fears she might be a witch. An ordinary woman stuck with an extraordinary shapeshifting companion, a wild thing. This curious twosome are in a disintegrating cottage in a forest on the cusp of another world that lies beyond responsibilities and social norms, and where myths and magic are real.

Written by Victoria Firth. Directed by Natasha Holmes, designed by Emma Williams, with an original soundscape and live song, it has the intimacy of private conversations, raucous stories, snorting humour, gay abandon and exquisite tenderness.

The piece explores the wildness - as opposed to madness - of women, and how our feral side can reconnect us to ourselves and our environment.
