One toilet attendant. Two sets of toilets. One night. Worlds apart.
The story of a Nigerian nightclub toilet attendant, working in the toilets of a fictional club based on the Shimmy Club in Glasgow. Her conflicted journey spliced with flashbacks to the toilets of the Shrine nightclub in Lagos, Nigeria, where her younger self dreams of becoming a dancer in the revolutionary band of the late Nigerian musician, Fela Kuti.
While there is a thematic link between the two stories it’s hard to see what is gained by telling them alongside each other, and easier to see what is lost in a 65-minute production that is too short for either of them to be developed enough to make you invest in the characters and their lives.
On Tour, from Monday March 6, 2017, until Saturday April 1, 2017.
