Book NowAbout Betty Grumble and Performing Lines
Betty Grumble's Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t is a performance art show by Betty Grumble and Performing Lines, a professional company, performed at Upstairs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Described as a genre-defying spectacle, it is a collision of performance art, raw physicality and rock'n'roll framed as a radical act of revenge, reclamation and release, responding to climate collapse and patriarchal violence. The show runs 80 minutes and is strictly for audiences aged 18 and over. Extensive content warnings include nudity, scenes of a sexual nature, scenes of sexual violence, strobe lighting, strong language, incense burning, loud music, and discussions of intimate partner violence, ecocide and grief.
Why see this show?
An uncompromising piece of performance art that arrives from Australia with a clear and urgent point of view. Bold, physical and deliberately confrontational — for audiences who want theatre that takes a genuine risk.
