- Bullet Theatre, Anna Jordan
Bullet Theatre, a new Bristol-based company founded by three women, present Anna Jordan’s play, which explores female sexuality, self-image and sexual exploitation, in a comedic, relatable and sometimes shocking manner.
“They think I am the most beautiful thing in the world. And I don’t mind being a thing. I don’t
want their respect. I want only their animal desire.”
Freak follows the sex lives of two women at very different stages of their lives and looks at
how societal ideals affect them emotionally and influence their decisions.
Leah has just come out of puberty and is apprehensive about this whole new world of sex and sexiness, and how to remain popular.
Conversely Georgie, 30, has just come out of a long-term relationship and spontaneously decided to become a stripper.
“The audience are guaranteed to laugh, cry and most of all feel nostalgic for experiences we have all shared whilst growing up.
“With the recent shedding of light on sexual abuse in the media and the cancellation of compulsory consent workshops at universities, these topics must be addressed within the arts, provoking discussion and awareness.
“Our production of Freak uses physical theatre and devised ensemble work to explore this with empathy, humour and humanity.
“Connecting media headlines to diary scribbles, our work aims to boldly and unashamedly explore the experience of being female. Ooh…now that’s a turn on!”
