The Formidable Lizzie Boone image

What do you get when you combine a wedding ring, burlesque and Pacman?

Well, if you’re Lizzie Boone, you might get therapy…

Lizzie will pull you into her world for a night of drama, healing and dark humour.

Centred around a therapists office, this one-woman show explores the intricacies of humanity through a woman who loves vodka with lemonade and a cat called Lionel.

Lizzie catapults us through her life; from the torment of school bullies to darker experiences and chaotic spirals; the pieces of her life that jammed together, eventually pushing her over the edge and into her recent breakdown.

With lively voice-overs bringing to life an array of characters from soothing therapist Marie to wild child Debz, amongst others, this play is bursting with soul and humanity.

A burlesque dance scene also features, showing off the sensual and theatrical side of burlesque and highlighting ‘the art of tease’ to be a way of finding your own spark and celebrating your womanhood.

Trigger Warning: Contains references to mental health/breakdowns and sexual assault.

So join Lizzie Boone this September for a night of drama, dark comedy and maybe a nipple tassel or two…

This is one of three performances of The Formidable Lizzie Boone for the Greater Manchester Fringe. They take place on 24 September at 7.30pm (60 mins), on 25 September at 7pm (60 mins) and on 25 September at 8.30pm (60 mins). See all three events here. See full Greater Manchester Fringe listings here.
