Description In Class Act, working class unfortunate Mish Grigor tells the story of a grotesque world of class and social mobility straight from her dirty mouth. APHIDS have created a bombastic, unexpected deconstruction of My Fair Lady, albeit with less bonnets. Joined by dancer Alice Dixon, directed by Zoey Dawson, and with some experimentally arranged orchids, Grigor'€™s performance shines a light on the unseen costs of a social glow up. Plus there'€™ll be high tea (but only for the bourgeoisie). Please note: High Tea seats are limited and will include hors d'€™oeuvres and sparkling wine upon arrival. Plus you'€™ll be able to skip the queue and settle in sooner than the great unwashed (just try not to look too smarmy when you do, it’s unbecoming).
