About DON GNU
Women in Socks and Sandals is a physical theatre and dance show by DON GNU, performed at the Main House. Subtitled KISS, the piece explores what happens when women enter a world created by men — whether they can find their own expression in a world of raw physicality, ego battles and cheesy dad humour. Three female performers step out of their comfort zones to take on a testosterone-fuelled action universe, delivering a powerful performance filled with quirky stunts and mental courage. The show runs for 60 minutes and contains strobe lighting. Suitable for ages 12 and above.
Why see this show?
Three women taking on an action universe built by and for men — this is physical theatre with something to say, delivered through genuine athletic skill and a sharp sense of humour.
