Nana Funk: Tough Old Bird
March 20 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
£15
A heartfelt musical journey of exploration, inspired by real life events. Presented by Nana Funk, the great-great-grandmother of good times.
Tough Old Bird explores how women are viewed in society as they have the absolute gall to get older! Have you ever noticed those adverts promising to ‘defy the effects of ageing’? Ooh Nana hates them. What about when we get old? Where’s the instruction manual? Who deems what is ‘acceptable behaviour’? What happens when your voice isn’t listened to, or you become slowly invisible?
