SHELL
“A production that made the audience laugh until they cried and then cry until they laughed”
​
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 was kindly supported by ArtHouse Jersey and enjoyed a sold-out mini run at The Hope in September 2023.
