About Felix Le Freak
WENCH is a darkly comic one-person musical set in the year 1645, when England is gripped by whispers of witchcraft. Felix Le Freak — Drag Idol UK winner — plays Martha Tallow, a slippery, scandal-prone harlot who refuses to behave. The show blends cabaret, character comedy and original music as its historical heroine charms, shocks and slips through the cracks of society's expectations. Running 60 minutes at the Bluebell, it is a solo show for adult audiences.
Why see this show?
A riotous solo musical built around a character who refuses to stay put — glamour, mischief and original songs, all wrapped up in a historical setting that feels surprisingly current.
