Westdal & Hayward – Worked Up

Two middle-aged women, who between them have 3 dogs, 2 kids but only 1 fully functioning pelvic floor. They’re a tiny bit cross, they’re not going to take it anymore, they’re dishing it out instead. These Agony Aunts at Large have been tasked by HMG to take back control of a party where everyone has had far too much fizzy pop and its high time to stop playing “Follow the Leader”. Join with this pair of post-menopausal Mary Poppins who use chatter and song to bring The House to order and instigate the perfect Nanny State where everyone knows how to play nicely. Beth Hayward and Freyja Westdal met as aspiring young actresses on a tour where Beth was Freyja’s understudy; a fact that has never been allowed to be forgotten, in a friendship lasting over 25 years. Together they have supported Dean Friedman on tour, performed alongside and written songs for 4 Poofs and a Piano, and 2019 saw their sell out Edinburgh Fringe debut. Audience reviewers urged others to join in the “glamorous hilarity” and enjoy an evening with these “Fantastically funny & incredibly clever” ladies.
