This spring, the Pleasance sees the world premiere of Charlotte Merriam’s Dames. Celebrating females with no filters, Dames is about the intimate and exposing nature of friendships in the true contemporary confessional – the club toilet.

Drowning in their own word vomit, six dysfunctional millennials collide, bond and clash. Siberian Lights’ gloriously rude debut play is a glimpse into the shambolic honesty of a world where the rules of civility are suspended.

Dames is at The Pleasance Theatre 17^th – 29^th April 2018.
