Preview · Wed 5 Aug – Thu 6 Aug2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug16+
Award-winning character comedian and actress Bebe Cave explores historical female main character syndrome. This time it's the Victorian era, where men wear top hats and waistcoats and ladies don't have the vote yet. Good times! Through the lens of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, some very silly men who were very good at painting, and their most famous muses, Bebe skewers pretentious male artistry and the women they love to drown. Why are women such beautiful artistic objects, especially when they're dead, and why are the men who paint them so difficult and very much alive?
