Five-star critically acclaimed Spice Girls inspired show set to storm Brighton with girl power this spring

ExCo
Presented by Liz Tait Productions, the show follows four former college friends, who reunite for a Spice Girls-themed dance workshop, which spirals into chaos, following honest reckonings with the past. Old resentments resurface, along with a family scandal, as the women realize that the day is less about learning a dance routine and more about the consequences of choice, the power of friendship, and finding the courage to embrace their authentic selves. A celebration of life's lessons - coming to terms with ageing, bereavement, grand-parenting and....whatever comes next! This joyful show celebrates too often invisible, middle-aged women and the benefits of dance in promoting a good quality of life, improved fitness and self-image.
Audiences can not only expect laugh-out-loud moments, but also loneliness, loyalty and love, all accompanied by fierce female friendship, and a girl-power, platform-stomping soundtrack. Who Do They Think They Are? Is set to tour the UK, including dates in Brighton, Eastbourne, Petworth and London.
Liz Tait is a Victoria Wood Playwriting Prize for Comedy shortlisted writer, behind A Different Song, which featured as part of the Worthing Festival and Chichester Fringe, followed by a successful tour of London, Brighton, and Arundel.

The show features a cast of four: Kate Peltzer Dunn, Sophie Dearlove, Sally Best and Helen Rogers, who each take on a different Spice Girl persona.
