DollyWould
Oh look, 2016 Fringe First winners Sh!t Theatre again.
What is it this time? Oh, is it unemployment? Is there a crisis? Did the government do something wrong again?
No, it’s a show about Dolly Parton. We fucking love her.
For DollyWould Sh!t Theatre researched Dolly Parton. They watched films, read about her childhood, interviewed her and visited her Tennessee theme park Dollywood. Combining text, music, video and giant boob costumes, this show celebrates all that is Dolly, including the Scottish sheep, so named because she was cloned from a mammary gland. The book also features colour photographs from the show and from the duo's trip to Dollywood.
Following the award-winning sell-out Letters to Windsor House – which was named one of Time Out’s top ten theatre shows of the year – Sh!t Theatre returned with DollyWould, a bold, eccentric show which enjoyed a 100% sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Sh!t Theatre have been working together since 2010, and have been Fringe First Award Winners, Three Weeks Editors Choice Award 2015 winners, and were Shortlisted for the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award 2014.
