Martha MacDonald
Writer. Comedian. Performer.

Coming soon...
17 & 18 September at The Hope Theatre, Islington
When Margot’s dad dies, her main worries are keeping it together during the eulogy and how she can’t listen to ‘The Cure’ without bursting into tears... never in a million years did she think he would actually leave her the f***ing tortoise.
​
This hibernating reptile has now outlived two generations of her family, and Margot’s worried that she might be next.
​
This production is kindly supported by ArtHouse Jersey.
