What If They Ate the Baby?

Xhloe and Natasha • Semi-professional company

50 minutes•Upper Theatre (Thrust)
There are three rules every housewife knows: never return a dish empty, always have dinner ready on time, and some things are best kept under the table. After all, you never know who’s listening. You’ve heard whispers of absent husbands? Missing children? Spaghetti recipes? Or was it scones? You just can’t trust everything you hear through the walls these days. An absurdist queer two-hander about surveillance, American womanhood, and bodily autonomy from consecutive 2022, 2023, and 2024 Fringe First Award-winners Xhloe and Natasha.
