Over a two year period I worked as Pom Boyd's main collaborator to create this 2018 Fringe festival hit and award nominated show.
Pom Boyd – Shame

In it we explored true experiences from her life and turned them into theatre performance pieces and songs. The audience response was extraordinary. It was nominated for two fringe awards and received great reviews.

We were commissioned to restage it that same year as part of the Abbey theatres winter season, where again it was a huge success.

“This frank and honest performance by Boyd is boldly insightful and deeply relatable.”

Shame

“With the perspective of time, some of these are funny and some are extremely sad but they all touch a nerve.”

“Shame invites you to wear your crippling shame on your sleeve, but it does so with humour and a DIY punk ethic.”

In ‘Shame’ Boyd bravely and beautifully sets out to break the cycle of shame. ‘Shame’ is really about celebration, and Boyd has a lot to celebrate.

“This brave, honest and funny show invites you to share in the ritual - give up the exhausting pretence and wear your crippling shame on your sleeve.”
