This Really Is Too Much by Gracefool Collective

After 100 years of women’s suffrage in Britain how far have we really come?

Raucous, provocative and laugh-out-loud funny, This Really Is Too Much is a genre-busting show that reveals the downright absurd realities of life as a three-dimensional, high definition, water-drinking, salad-eating, moisturising W.O.M.A.N. in modern society.

'Gleefully compelling' (Exeunt), slickly choreographed and dripping with feminist charm and anarchic wit, the show combines dance, dark comedy and theatre. Gracefool Collective delve deeply into a world of farcical stereotypes and preposterous power struggles, wrestling with gender, identity and social convention along the way in this accessible and humorous exploration of gender inequalities.

The four performers, Kate Cox, Sofia Edstrand, Rachel Fullegar and Rebecca Holmberg, fight themselves, each other and society’s expectations for women to be individual, political, beautiful, popular, in control – and in their place.

Gracefool Collective is a four woman strong company of theatre makers formed in 2013. They make post-intellectual-
pseudo-spiritual-feminist-comedy-dance-theatre about the absurdities of modern existence. They aim to provoke, delight, and defy convention through irreverent physicality, sharp writing and arresting characters. Their work tackles serious issues while never taking itself too seriously
