About the show
Broke and Fabulous in the twenty-first Century is a raucous dramedy by Beacon and Tide Productions about two best friends, Alex and Petunia, chasing their dreams and navigating love in their chaotic thirties.

Raunchy, funny and honest, it promises to prove that even broke and frazzled you can always be fabulous. The show runs for 60 minutes at the Dram venue and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely raucous night out that celebrates messy, fabulous friendship. If you enjoy new writing with warmth, dirty laughs and plenty of heart, this show about chasing dreams in your thirties delivers exactly that.
