AND SHE
Sherman Theatre, Cardiff
Tue 1 Oct + Wed 2 Oct
Bonnie and The Bonnettes are back with their new show And She, at Sherman Theatre this October.
The show depicted as “part-gig, part-trip to their mums’ living rooms,” will explore topics such as womanhood, motherhood and femininity; all stemming from conversations had with their mothers. Newcastle-based singer-songwriter Max Easter (MXYM) will be joining the group for this production as a sound designer and has been working on the music since Autumn 2018.
The trio made up of Hattie Eason, Cameron Sharp, and Rebecca Glendenning came together in 2016 and are now a theatre company based in the North East of England.
Hattie is a theatre maker, vocalist and facilitator, with credits such as supporting singer Pixie Lott at the Sunderland Christmas Lights, as a vocalist. She aims to create thought-provoking and humorous pieces all the while getting her inspiration from gender roles, identity and the interactions between different people.
Cameron is a performance artist, producer and director, with credits including Wank Buddies (Live Theatre/2018-19 Bursary Winner). He is influenced by storytelling, identities, gender, sexuality and all things sparkles. He aims to blend aesthetics, colour schemes, and songs/stories into fun, upbeat and loud performances.
Rebecca is a theatre maker and stage manager, with credits such as Hear Her Roar (The Exchange), who focuses on curiosity, politics, gender, and sexuality; all the while making her work fun for all. She has received a short play writing commission from Workie Ticket Theatre company where she will be working with female veterans to write a play about gender and LGBTQIA+ discrimination in the British military.
Bonnie and The Bonnettes’ work is varied with shows sometimes being about them, other people or the world they live in; they enjoy incorporating many different genres. Their debut show Drag Me To Love was a way of them bringing “drag to the world of theatre.”
The 70-minute show contains strong language, flashing lights and loud music and is guaranteed to have you laughing and unapologetically full of life.
