Stayin' Alive
Victoria Oxley, One Madam Productions • Professional company
About the show
Stayin' Alive is a dark comedy from Victoria Oxley, presented by One Madam Productions at the Blether at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Maggie's nan is dead, her therapist is useless, and her sister is threatening to knock her out. Maggie is still in her nan's house, the walls are closing in. Somewhere between the Blue Anchor pub, a couple of dodgy tribute acts and a broken Alexa, she might figure out how she got here — and find a reason to stay. Told with biting wit and the heart and humour of Liverpool. The 60-minute show is for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Grief, family tension and a broken Alexa make for unexpectedly rich comic territory in this Liverpool-voiced dark comedy. Biting wit and genuine heart from Victoria Oxley — honest, raw and difficult to shake.
