BRACE yourselves Falmouth, Queen C*nt Sacred or Profane will be in town next month.

Bristol-based artists Deborah Antoinette and China Fish, and producer Hannah Elsy will be bringing their critically acclaimed sketch show to The Poly thanks in part to a grant from Arts Council England, in partnership with menstrual cup Lunette.

"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians," says the press release, tongue planted firmly in cheek.

It also poses the question: “Why is it that the oldest term for the female genitalia in the English language is such a shocking and criminal expression?

"Expect darkly comic, expect personal perspective, expect not turning a blind eye to gender based violence and expect a joyful reclaiming of the feminine, whilst unashamedly shedding light on the patriarchal systems that keep us all bound."

Hannah said: "I'm proud to produce the Arts Council England funded tour of this daring show.

"Queen C*nt Sacred or Profane is a post-Weinstein, post-Brett Kavanagh piece, tackling the ugliness of the recent backlash against feminism and women's rights."

Performer and creator Deborah Ward adds: "When I was younger, I used to escape London's madness by immersing myself in the mythic, witch-revering alternative cultural beacons of the South West; full of grass roots arts and rich-natural places - Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.

"Before that I lived in Brighton and the sea smelled of the freshness of the many cultures, music and poetries of the place! I am now utterly delighted to bring these places our witchy-mad-sketch-show!"

China added: ‘I am so happy to be able to travel the south west and beyond with this show. We've put our heart and souls in to its making and powered by patronage and arts Council support, we have been enabled to reach new audiences and perform in a variety of wonderful venues. We are so looking forward to laughing, rejoicing and rewilding together. See you there!"

The Poly performance takes place on Saturday, February 9. They will also play at The Acorn in Penzance on the previous night.
