Philosophy of the World
PRESENTED BY DUBLIN FRINGE FESTIVAL & PROJECT ARTS CENTRE
Who holds the power to define you? Who gets to say whether you’re a legend or loser? Who owns the right, and the rights, to tell your story?
Ridiculed then revered, The Shaggs defied categorisation. IN BED WITH MY BROTHER attempt to wrangle the story of the best worst band of all time into a three-act biopic.
Part tribute act, part feminist reclamation, part rambling flight of ideas, this is about fate, freewill, power, patriarchy, band t-shirts, daddy issues and the best worst album ever made.
‘Furious and funny rallying cry against patriarchy and perfection... It is unkept, unseemly and chaotic. And that is exactly the point.’ - Guardian ★★★★
Supported by Arts Council England. Originally commissioned by Cambridge Junction. Developed at the National Theatre’s Generate programme, New Diorama Theatre’s Intervention 01, Bristol Old Vic, Curious Directive, & Exeter Northcott Theatre.
