'24-Weeks' from Tatty Pants Theatre Company

Overview

Live Borders Arts & Creativity Present ’24-Weeks’ from Tatty Pants Theatre Company.

The world has changed, and women’s bodies are being policed more than ever. Nowhere is safe, and it seems no-one is safe either. After last night’s party, things are feeling a little hazy for Becca. In fact, she can’t remember anything since lunchtime the day before. Faye and Georgie are hiding something big, and Becca is dangerously close to piecing the puzzle back together.

There’s blood on someone’s hands, but will we ever know who’s to blame?

Tatty Pants Theatre Company is a queer and female-led theatre company making bold, feminist work with a focus on “theatre as activism” (The Student). We earned our stripes at the University of St Andrews, producing sell-out runs at the Byre Theatre of Hollie McNish’s ‘Antigone’ and ‘Braided’ (a company original). We were awarded three prizes at a competition hosted by Australian production company Diversion Creative, leading us to work on Bijli’s tour of ‘One Mississippi’.

We went on to review theatre for Fringebiscuit, SNACK, and recently, Binge Fringe. Currently, producer Alex is pursuing her PhD in St Andrews, director Issy is a Drama Assistant at a school in Suffolk, and writer Laura works in TV in Glasgow.

TPTC is looking forward to producing yet another political “theatrical gem” (The List) that fuels controversy amongst our audiences, and encourages them to confront difficult questions.

In 2023, we made our Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut with ‘WITCHES’ (★★★★★ The Student).

In 2024, we brought ‘COVENANT’ (★★★★★ The Student, London Theatre Doc) to the Fringe Festival as a Work in Progress show, receiving praise from audiences and critics alike.

We are preparing to bring our next production to a bigger stage, with a bigger team. We endeavour to keep working with other early-career creatives, offering up as many opportunities to others as possible.
