Critically acclaimed play Skin A Cat to tour the UK

The critically acclaimed play by Isley Lynn – Skin A Cat, will tour the UK from 14th September – 20th October including a one night return to the Bunker Theatre in SE1, a celebration of the fact that Skin a Cat was the very first play to be performed there back in 2016.

Having just finished a fantastically critically successful Edinburgh Fringe Festival run with a previous sell-out, award-winning run at The Vault Festival 2016 and a highly successful run at The Bunker London 2016,  Skin A Cat fearlessly puts one woman’s struggle with vaginismus front and centre; a comical and poignant piece that sheds a fresh light on the pressures of fitting in and going all the way.

With a kaleidoscope of off kilter characters, Skin A Cat follows Alana on an awkward sexual odyssey; from getting her first period at nine years old and freaking out her frantic mother, to watching bad porn at a house party, to a painful examination by an overly cheery gynaecologist – all in the pursuit of losing her virginity and finally becoming a woman, whatever that means.

Putting a young woman’s struggle with her sexuality front and centre, this semi-autobiographical story is like none you’ve seen before, yet it still feels achingly familiar, breaking stereotypes and hearts in the process. A story about one girl and her relatively rare (yet more common that you’d think) condition vaginismus. As entertaining as it is educational, Skin A Cat is a personal and unflinching look at the pressures of fitting in; an alternative coming of age story about going all the way.

Lydia Larson will be joined on stage by Libby Rodliffe and Joe Eyre.
