They follow their screening of Duck Soup back in November, an event which drew both exhilarated and heated debate from the audience, with a screening of Amy Heckerling’s iconic 1995 Jane Austen reimagining Clueless.

Queen C****: Sacred or Profane?

Venus is about to collide with Earth! A multi-character melange of opinion paints the stage rainbow coloured, sequined, hairy and fleshy pink. Blending music, comedy, drag, movement, dance, buffon and the grotesque, Queen Cunt sees all power to the feminine, the wrathful, the sensual! In an age of Harvey Weinsteins, where passing trends compel some to surgical operation, where mainstream porn has hijacked sensuality, we delve into the wild waters of our womanhood, reclaiming the body in a joyful, dark and often anarchic exploration.
