Fine Bone China is a task-based, part-improvised, part-choreographed performance that explores how we try to hold things together even when everything is falling apart. Lucy and Martha question Englishness, social conventions and how we all often pretend that “Yes, everything’s fine” even when we are clearly drowning. The performance takes place within a surreal minimalist set and playfully leads the audience to contemplate the gap that exists between our Romantic ideals and the bare truths of reality.

We’ve found it. Once and for all we have caught it: the ingredients for the most perfect teatime moment. We want to present it to you, to re-construct it for you exactly, precisely and then hold onto it. We want to rest in a limbo of loveliness where there are no raised voices and we are wrapped in a blanket of sugar.

The day the chairs came



Today Lucy and I were interrupted mid-script, standing with tea-cups on our heads, to hear the wonderful news that our 6ft" tall chairs had arrived!

We are exited and nervous about the delights that await us in mastering the tall chair, high-heel and tea-cup combination...... watch this space and wish us luck!
