BWW Review: CHARLIE AND STAN, Theatre Royal Bath

At a time when we're getting too many words, words, words from a bumbling Prime Minister and his cronies, what a relief to discover a charming, kind and life-affirming silent movie-style production that harks back to simpler times. The enticing live piano score by composer Zoe Rahman, is the dialogue, aided by the odd ditty (song arrangements by Sophie Cotton) and clever projected captions taking you back to the heydays of Victorian music hall and Hollywood silent pictures.

Ovalhouse And All About You Present REJOICING AT HER WONDROUS VULVA THE YOUNG WOMAN APPLAUDED HERSELF

'We need more radical honesty and artistry of the kind Heesom offers' - Edinburgh Spotlight (on My World Has Exploded A Little Bit)

REJOICING AT HER WONDROUS VULVA THE YOUNG WOMAN APPLAUDED HERSELF Comes to London's Ovalhouse

Combining intimate stories, comic dialogues, and - when words feel like a cage - dance, Rejoicing At Her Wondrous Vulva The Young Woman Applauded Herself is a celebratory exploration of female sexuality, taking audiences on a journey of self-discovery through pleasure, shame, pride, fury and jubilation. Male gaze may have influenced how we see ourselves and how we engage with sexuality, but what even IS the female gaze? Bella Heesom's personal journey through how she got to think and behave the way she did, and then turned around and questioned it all, is played out as a tug of war between brain and clitoris; the intellectual vs the sensual, in a celebration of what it means to be the proud owner of a vulva.
