OPAL
FRUITS: Edinburgh Preview
‘Utterly compelling’ (Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor)
‘One to watch’ (A Younger Theatre)
★★★★ (Breaking the Fourth Wall)
★★★★ (Plays to See).
Armed with pick n mix, politics and UK Garage, Holly
Beasley-Garrigan wants to talk about the fetishisation of the feral
female. OPAL FRUITS is about class, nostalgia and five generations
of women from one council estate in South London. An anarchic
reimagining of the self-congratulatory solo show and a wry
interrogation of faux-working-class cultural trends.
OPAL FRUITS is Holly's debut solo show. It’s just undergone
significant redevelopment with a new and expanded creative team.
The show explores what it means to be an artist who grew up in
poverty... to have a stake in two worlds but to feel as though you
don't really fit into either.
In 1998 Opal Fruits changed their name to – we don’t say that name
here. It was all downhill.
Supported by: Arts Council England, Bristol Old Vic Ferment,
Knowle West Media Centre, Streatham Space Project.
*This show will be followed by a post-show 'talk' ALLOW IT:
Class in Conversation.
ALLOW IT:
Class in Conversation
A post-show ‘talk’ without the bullshit.
Breaking bread between artists, audiences, organisations, and
dismantling class stigma one slice of pizza at a time.
ALLOW IT: Class in Conversation is touring with Holly
Beasley-Garrigan’s show Opal Fruits. It aims to connect
local venues, artists & audiences across a national tour on the
subject of class in the arts and how we might all learn from each
other and do better if only we bloody talked about it.
It’ll be chill, it’ll be free, and it’ll be fun, promise!
