Wild Onion – Royal & Derngate

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Step into our circle and peel back the layers of this riotous, narrative cabaret. Blending theatre, dance, circus, and over 100 delightfully destroyed onions, Wild Onion brings three queer best friends together to explore and grow their chosen family.

As Daisy loses her sense of self in the midst of family secrets, Rach attempts to manage her fear of men, and Adam tries to make himself cry on a cyr wheel.

A ‘highly recommended show’ by FringeReview, described as ‘A right-rollicking night out,’ where the best tears are onion tears, and we guarantee not a dry eye in the house.

All destroyed onions will be composted at a local community garden
