The Bald Prima Donna

Welcome to the home of Mr and Mrs Smith in the suburbs of London. What happens in the suburbs stays in the suburbs. There will be wars fought, battles won, sex, death and fire - lots of talk about fire (it's too highly taxed).


Slip of the Lip Theatre are bringing Eugene Ionesco's 1950s iconoclastic, absurdist classic about distressed communication and detectives in disguise to Upstairs at The Gatehouse for some summer lovin' this July.

This 'wonderful comedy' has been hailed as a 'side-splittingly hilarious' one-act comedy of manners, 'extremely well acted by a hugely talented cast', and as critic Paul Gustafson noted: 'Despite being over 60 years old, the play remains as relevant as ever in an age of so called communications, where we fritter away so many words on mobile phones, texts, emails, and social media yet often fail to say anything that is meaningful'.
