Lucy & Friends explores loneliness, labour and the desperate performance of connection. Presented as a stripped-back variety show, Lucy's first completely solo show calls on the audience to become her missing friends, stepping into roles she cannot fill alone. As the show spirals through failed spectacle, emotional manipulation and increasingly chaotic attempts at community-building, Lucy exploits the language of cabaret to unravel ideas of narcissism, celebrity and the unhinged woman. A master of theatrical manipulation and crushing personal vulnerability, she leaves audiences needing a hug, a cry and an immediate shower.
