LINE-UP FOR WEDNESDAY 27th MARCH

⭐ PAULA VARJACK ⭐

Her performance and research project “Show Me The Money” – explored making a living as an artist in the U.K., based on interviews with 44 artists across the country. Her latest show “The Cult of K*NZO” , a playful critique of consumer culture and high fashion, tours this spring, kicking off at Camden Peoples Theatre in February, with another London date at Battersea Arts Centre in April. She is also in early stages of developing #thebabyquestion with performers Luca Rutherford & Catriona James & dramaturg Maddy Costa, exploring the inevitability of "the baby question" on women, regardless of age. Born in Washington D.C. to a Ghanaian mother and a British father, out of many places she has lived she considers east London to be "home".

WHAT THEY SAY...

Not only is That's What She Said a great place to see talented literary performers, for everyone and not just women, but it provides a space for women to shout and scream their anger, their frustrations, their desires; a space without censorship, without objectification and without the dreaded “it must be her time of the month” quip. I think For Books’ Sake is doing some really important work." (Thanks SexyVeg for this recent review of one of our London shows!
