Why Is John Lennon Wearing A Skirt?

Bubbling up with issues of gender, identity, rebellion, truth and The Beatles, Claire Dowie’s one-person show was uplifting, eye-opening and a real treat of intellectual and emotional nourishment. Keeping humour at the forefront, this journey through school discos, sexual stereotypes and the dreaded skirt, is as relevant in today’s environments as it was back when John Lennon was every independent thinker’s pin-up. Preaching to the converted in Brighton, our protagonist waves the flag of individuality and equality, in this personal and universal tale. Warm and funny, I’m so glad this award-winning show has come to town.
