About Marie Hamilton
MADONNA ON THE ROCKS is a 60-minute theatre show written and performed by Marie Hamilton at Roxyboxy. Described as a visceral and hilarious call to arms, it is a neon-lit, techno-soundtracked mental breakdown set at the Stay and Play, exploring egos, responsibilities and the struggle to sustain an artistic or any career while being a relatively decent parent. The show features songs inspired by Madonna, Peaches and Nina Simone, and was composed in Berlin by Cameron Mackintosh Award winner Ben Osborn with dramaturgy from Bryony Kimmings. Tickets start from £8.50, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A dark comedy about the impossible negotiation between art and parenthood, with a neon-lit techno soundtrack and songs drawn from Madonna, Peaches and Nina Simone. Marie Hamilton's show sounds like a very specific kind of cathartic night out.
