Cock and Bull performed by Nic Green | IBT17 Bristol International Festival

'A furious, feminist take-down of the political establishment’ **** What’s on Stage

A passionate speech of the body

Responding to the meaninglessness and repetition of empty political promise, Cock and Bull sees three females convene their own, alternative, party conference. Using the most-heard phrases from governmental rhetoric this work is protest, catharsis and exorcism, underpinned with the real-time energy of political dissatisfaction and Tory tongue-speak.

A close up of two sets of hands, painted in gold.

Two women dressed in blue suits, have gold painted across their mouths and their hands. They are speaking out towards the audience.
