Joan & Bullish: Two Plays
About this book
In BULLISH, ancient mythology meets modern gender negotiation. Inspired by Ovid's Minotaur, a gender fierce ensemble of hopers and renegades try to pass, pack and blag their way out of the labyrinth.
JOAN: An earthy story of courage, conviction and hope, this is Joan of Arc. Performed by drag king champion Lucy Jane Parkinson, history's greatest gender-warrior takes to the stage, dragging up as the men she defies in this smash-hit show.
A fearless solo play with uproarious songs about what it means to stand out, stand up and stand alone.

In this desolate gone space
I hang on hell’s edge
A temporary state of souls
Playing poker with the devil

A novelty worn
A keepsake long forgotten
A necklace misplaced
A labyrinth so elaborate
So decadently decorated

Try your hardest to dig your way free my friends
