THIS EVENT ENDED ON THE 18TH FEBRUARY 2018
Nearby

A musical mash-up of comedy and storytelling ELSA, Isobel Rogers' debut show, uses character comedy, satirical songs and off-the-cuff stand up in a straight-talking show which looks at the expectations of millennial women. Part of the excellent VAULT Festival, it's directed by Sara Joyce, who was recently announced as one of the Old Vic 12 directors for 2017/18. Covering the contradictions of slut-shaming and Instagram-envy, the show explores the pressures and stigmas women face, cultural stereotypes and what lies beneath.
