Myrtle Throgmorton: Me and Parky

Jennie ChalmersAmateur Company

45 minutesLime Studio
The certified old trout and original bag-for-life is back! Following The Ancient Heckler in 2015 and Stuffed and Mounted in 2017, Myrtle Throgmorton is still blethering on about Burns, the Birdy Song, gussets, graphic novels (not as graphic as she hoped), long lists, popguns, pole-dancing and the underuse of alliteration. But this year Parky has got her all shook up. There might be guests. There will be a retiring collection (at long last!) in aid of Parkinson’s UK. A “personal journey”, but everything’s a journey now. She calls it life.

Following The Ancient Heckler in 2015 and Stuffed and Mounted in 2017, the character of Myrtle Throgmorton returns, still blethering on about Burns, the Birdy Song, gussets, graphic novels, popguns, pole-dancing, and the underuse of alliteration.
