‘Birds & Bees’
‘Birds & Bees’ is back! After a Covid19 delay and diversion into a film (see details below) it’s here! I’m so proud of this fresh version of the play.
If, like me, you had shit sex ed then you’ll know the ripple effect of it is huge. Particularly those of us who grew under the shadow of Section 28. We all deserve so much better. I’ve loved making this with Rob Watt, Theatre Centre and a whole load of brilliant young people. I’m proper thrilled to be taking it into venues & schools. Let’s start a national conversation about sex education!
All tour details are here!
