Funny, poetic and disarmingly honest, it is a bittersweet tale of how it feels to wonder what life would be like if you weren’t who you are.

Acclaimed live artists and performance makers Rachel Mars and nat tarrab go on a quest from glass blowing warehouses to supermarket aisles, from a female bootcamp to the scripts of When Harry Met Sally to see where love can exist when you can’t even find yourself. Is hope worthwhile? Is life ultimately disappointing? Come and learn the brace position against the inevitable by-products of human existence. Sharp new writing, unreliable science and no-nonsense chat. A sell-out at The Barbican Plymouth and, most recently, at this summer’s Edinburgh Festival, this funny, powerful and disarmingly honest show is a joyful mosaic of stories of otherness. Also- post show chats about Gender, Autobiography & Performance, and Feminism and Religion with Gendered Intelligence, Bobby Baker and Brian Lobel.

In 2010 nat was asked for 94th time if she was in the right toilet, and Rachel refound the Spiderman trainers of her youth, and so began the journey towards Tomboy Blues – The Theory of Disappointment. They began conversations with each other, academics, doctors, children, parents and audiences about when and where our childhood hopes and expectations for the future change, sexual politics, gender and whether disappointment is an inevitable by product of human existence.
