A Washerwomans’ Warning

Presented by Bellow Theatre Company

Persil and Ariel run the local laundry. They spend their days under piles of grubby underwear, stained shirts, and soap suds. It’s an old family business of their grandmother’s, who always said, ‘a rinse, lather, and scrub seems shorter with a story’. So, they’re overworked and underappreciated but they always make time to tell a tale. As they start to relate an old Breton legend about a vengeful washerwoman spirit they begin to feel a little rebellious themselves. Will they get to finish the story? Or will their past come out in the wash? And who will be hung out to dry? In a mixture of songs, stories, and odd socks, Bellow Theatre cause some family friendly, fairy liquid fuelled chaos.
