Two unflinching plays from exciting new writer and performer, Izzy Tennyson. Grotty is a dark and savage exploration of the London lesbian scene. A couple of little sad old basements that drip with sweat and piss, with second-hand noise pulsating from some gay-boy night upstairs.

The piece was premiered by Damsel Productions at The Bunker, London, in May 2018. Solo show Brute tells the true story of a rather twisted schoolgirl.

Brute won the 2015 IdeasTap Underbelly Award, had a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and transferred to Soho Theatre with Damsel Productions in 2016.Show book
