SLAG ProductionsProfessional company

60 minutesJust the Spare Room
A nun walks into a comedy club... In this hilarious mash-up of Shakespeare and stand-up, performer Moira McAuliffe imaginatively brings to life the character of Isabella from Measure for Measure, as she stumbles upon a comedy club, desperate to process the actions of all the messy men in her life. And though therapists worldwide may disapprove, the open mic offers her a lifeline. To Whom Should I Complain is a funny, fierce, feminist exploration of hypocrisy, moral identity and religious indoctrination that finally answers the age-old question: what in God's name is Catholic Familyland?
