Meet the workers of the landfill behind the Fast Fashion Factory as they try to navigate a day with their horrible boss. What happens when the workers start to realise they have rights? What is lurking behind the clothes? Expect fashion, fables and unexpected friendships.
Venus in the Rags is inspired by the artwork 'Venus of the Rags' by Michelangelo Pistoletto and explores the impact that capitalism, fast fashion and the daily grind has on our world and our individualism. Devised by YEP Actors 14-17 with practitioner, Alice Bunker-Whitney, this funny show reflects the modern-day issues that matter to our young people.
All of the clothes used in the show have been donated by members of staff at the Everyman & Playhouse. When the show is finished, they will all be washed and donated to local charity shops to ensure they get a second (or third!) life.
Presented by YEP Actors 14-17 Company.
