Shades of Mediocrity is a ‘sparkling and provocative’, ‘superbly funny’ show about friendship, artistic angst and niche musical fandom. Lily and Maeve are well on their way to becoming just like their idols, Simon & Garfunkel. Admittedly, they’re not American, they’re not men and they’re not musical geniuses. But they’re not going to let a few technicalities get in the way of their dreams. Inspired by music documentaries, Stars in their Eyes, Comic Sans and polo-neck jumpers, Good Friends Lily and Maeve lip-sync, dance and juggle their way through this riotous examination of fame and failure.
Production support from Charlotte Christie and Nicola Westwood.
