MEAT

PRESENTED BY ELLE DILLON-REAMS
Elle Dillon-Reams presents MEAT: a brilliantly bold tour-de-force, hilariously funny, profoundly emotional, a powerhouse production.
After a sell out run in December, MEAT is back; a brilliantly bold, tour-de-force performance, hilariously funny, profoundly emotional, a powerhouse production.
In an age of patriarchy, where women’s bodies are commodified objects, MEAT is an electrifying roar of fury, a rallying cry of protest, a unifying celebration of strength packed with heroism & heart. Shame breeds in silence, this show gives a safe space to roar, for anyone who’s got a body.
Follow ‘A girl’ from age 9 into her 30s, detailing her journey through puberty, misogyny, and identity. A solo performer, but a story that is all of ours.
Based on verbatim accounts. MEAT is a playful and poignant exploration of identity. A dirty dive into the foundations of power, an injection of a new narrative. A theatrical hybrid of poetry, clowning, cabaret and dance featuring original music written by multi-award winner Elle Dillon-Reams.

★★★★★

“A tour-de-force performance fusing spoken word and physical theatre. Not only has she mastered both forms, she fuses them into something new, something greater“

Three Weeks

★★★★

“Brilliantly executed. Tears up the rulebook. MEAT is perfectly disobedient”

The Scotsman

★★★★★

“MEAT is the best thing at this year’s fringe. If I could give it more than five stars I would. MEAT is an absolute powerhouse of a production. It has everything that a theatrical production on the fringe circuit would need and yet it is miles ahead of what the industry is achieving. It is emotional, it is powerful, it is utter perfection”

GETTHECHANCE.WALES

★★★★★

“A challenging yet life-affirming piece of theatre that raised questions long after leaving the theatre and is as Dillon- Reams describes it herself : Work that leaves audiences with hope. My art is activism, my art is an antidote to the hopeless”
