CLASS ACT

In Class Act, working class unfortunate Mish Grigor depicts a grotesque world of class and social mobility, straight from her dirty mouth. You’re here for a retelling of My Fair Lady, but Grigor keeps veering off course to tell hilarious and humiliating stories from her own colourful history.

Directed by Zoey Dawson (MTC),  this work addresses the unspoken rifts of the class system through a bombastic deconstruction of the classic musical. Depictions of Eliza’s transformation are warped into children’s games and skipping rhymes, while the ballroom scene devolves into cringeworthy memories of getting dolled up for a school formal.

Joined on stage by dancer Alice Dixon (Lucy Guerin, CHUNKY MOVE), Mish‘s signature humour and critique take unexpected turns, culminating in surprising moments of equine-inspired choreography.

For the bourgeoisie, there will be high tea tickets available. These spots are up close and personal – exclusively limited to 12 people. Patrons will be served unconventional hors d’oeuvres made of the finest local ingredients, and sprinkled with the smug feeling of having the best seats in the house.
