Fran & Leni @ The Kings Head Theatre

1976. Fran & Leni meet in a North London comp. Three years later they are The Rips. Girls with guitars, bored of playing nice. I was the punk. I was born punk. But she was my rock. The only one I ever had. Music, sex, fishnets, tits and spitting: a two-girl escape from everything sugar and spice. Old Trunk provoked laughter and tears at Latitude and Edinburgh with this full-throttle tale of escape and lifelong friendship. By award-winning writer Sadie Hasler. Directed by Sarah Mayhew. Featuring the voices of Phill Jupitus, Lizzie Roper, Alan Cox, Ricky Champ & Marc Mollica. Original music for The Rips by Fi & Dave Dulake of Tuppenny Bunters. Lyrics by Sadie Hasler. "Profanity meets poetry..." ★★★★ - The Stage "Two girls' rebellion against the machine... provocative...deeply sad" ★★★★ - To Do List Darkly romantic comedyeffortlessly delivered and full of life." - The F Word See less If you have a promo code
