Sexy But Psycho
Sexy But Psycho is a new comedy show for cat lovers who are afraid of dying alone.
Join wannabe smash-hit singer/songwriter Lady Ursula Penelope Ingram Noseworthy the Sixth as she negotiates the world of online dating, the music industry, OnlyFans and how to turn poetry into cold, hard cash using only her cat for inspiration.
Learn the rudiments of sonnet form, who LL Cool J is, how to make a billion American pounds, and the three ways to play a leek from the most eligible woman in Hampshire.
Sexy But Psycho has just come to the end of an Arts Council England-funded research and development process, supported by Mayflower Studios, Proteus Theatre and a grant from the Winship Foundation. Huge thanks to our funders and to everyone who has supported the process so far - the questionnaires, the scratch performances, the workshops, and the Q&A.
