Wolverhampton Grand Theatre presents The Shocking Truth About Flat Earth at Queen Dome during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Meet Sharon Hargreaves: part-time keyboard warrior, full-time flat-Earth believer, forever tumbling down online rabbit holes. When she heads to a flat Earth convention in Vegas, a Shakespearean mix-up sends her spiralling into chaos, conspiracies and unexpected self-discovery. With best mate Debs and a crew of lovable oddballs, Sharon sets out to expose the truth. This gloriously unhinged, surprisingly heartfelt musical comedy also contains discussions of grief.
Why see this show?
A musical comedy that takes its daft premise completely seriously — Sharon Hargreaves is a wonderfully drawn character, and the show's warmth sneaks up on you amid the big tunes and conspiracy chaos.
