A Karaoke Cabaret
“We don’t wanna talk about
Westminster or Farage or Brussels.
We want to talk about us.
Here. Cos we’re the bit that matters.”
Anna is starting to think she made a mistake in moving to England. Steph sees her city changing and misses her dad. Both are looking for somewhere to call home and something to believe in.
And Sheila? She’s determined to bring people together again, the only way she knows how - karaoke! ‘Cause what we need right now is to get up on our feet, grab a mic together and belt out a ballad after a pint or five.
Setting fire to expectations of what a night at the theatre can be, Us Against Whatever is an electrifying cabaret about the places we keep in our hearts from the award-winning Middle Child.
Presented by Middle Child in association with Everyman & Playhouse and Hull Truck theatre.
Developed with the support of the National Theatre and British Council.
