Granny’s Gone Wild

Granny Gone Wild – written and performed by Lynn Ruth Miller directed by Bill Smith

Lynn Ruth Miller is approaching 80 and she’s pulled out the stops. Listen to outrageous comedy and song that tells it like it is as the years go by and it’s all good. The best is coming and she’s determined to get it all.
Lynn Ruth Miller uses the blast furnace of her life to gently boil down the huge amount of experience in the crucible of her mind to leave us all with disarming golden nuggets that threaten our ideas of what is important and remind us that each precious moment is worth wringing every drop of life out of! She shows us, vividly, that life gets better as you get older, and teaches us, in her sneaky way, that being naughty is ok…Eric Page: Theatre Feed.

Are you a Degereate Artist?

“Degenerate Art” seems almost redundant as a classification for contemporary artwork. Do we even have any physical, mental and moral boundaries left to transgress?
The Nazis invented the term and confiscated any art they could apply it to. They then toured over 600 works from some of the most influential artists of the 20th century in the bizarre hope of showing it’s moral and aesthetic shortcomings.
The Degenerate Art GONG Show aims to draw a new line in the sand between modern concepts of decency in art on one side, and the degenerates on the other. Who are the new Nazis? The Arts Council? The Curators? The Daily Mail?
We are looking for work that shows evidence of, or deals directly with, physical, mental or moral decline.
The work will be shown to a panel of experts and a voting audience at The Latest Bar, Brighton on May 23rd. You may speak about the work and you will be asked questions.
The winner gets a cash prize and the artist with the fewest votes will be banned from showing such work for one year. For further information please contact: gongshow@fortunecatproductions.com
