13 – 16 May
IN BED WITH MY BROTHER present
Philosophy of the World –
inspired by the best worst band of all time, The Shaggs. It’s named after their album. PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD (1969). The best worst album of all time.
Part tribute act, part feminist reclamation, part fever dream, PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD is about power, patriarchy, band t-shirts, daddy issues and three sisters, who didn’t want to be a band but it was their destiny.
It’s also about who gets to decide if you’re good or sh*t.
But it’s mainly about dads.
Featuring questionable mime, high-intensity dance sequences, awkward crowd work, stage combat, cheap wigs, jump scares, philosophising and a well trained actor, IN BED WITH MY BROTHER twists Rock ‘n’ Roll history into a sticky, sweaty, searing rebellion.
We’ll play the band. You play the audience. It’ll be perfect.
Load up on guns, bring your friends. But please, no smoking in the auditorium.
Oh, and lastly, whatever you do, please don’t tell Tom Cruise about the show. He currently holds the rights to the Shaggs’ story. And we haven’t paid him.
(Free soda on admission.)
