Selena Mersey: Madonna/Whore

Multi-award-winning musical comedian and professional overthinker Selena Mersey is in a long-term relationship for the first time in her life. Unfortunately, she's also been reading about Freud. Can Selena's straight-passing romance survive the weight of anxiety, progressive politics, and an incredibly impactful psychology education?

Presenting Madonna/Whore: a filthy, Freudian, feminist odyssey into the desire to be both and neither a mother and a slut. After a sellout run at Brighton Fringe, Mersey presents a souped-up redux of the psychodynamic sensation, featuring songs, stand-up, burlesque, and a live birth. Let this shambolic chanteuse enchant you out of your Freudian slip and show you what relationship counselling really looks like.
