Lightning is sparking in the rehearsal room as Fresh Knickers (and a Gin & Tonic) comes to life ✨

As a theatre maker, watching something you’ve written, directed and produced come to life is surreal in the best way. The cast are bringing so much joy to the room. They’ve thrown themselves into every moment, made bold choices, and found the heart in scenes I thought I already knew.

Everyone involved is pouring so much love into this story and I couldn’t ask for a better team to share it with. We’re in that stage where everything is coming together and the room feels like it’s buzzing. I already can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve been building.

I’d love for you to see what we’ve created, tickets and info at freshknickersplay.com 💗

More and more celebrities are speaking out about the menopause, and it's making a real difference 💬✨ In the script of Fresh Knickers, you'll hear direct comments from well-known names who are finally saying what so many women have been feeling. These aren't just scripted lines, they're the real words of famous women who have experienced menopause first-hand and are bravely sharing their truths.

Their voices help break the stigma, spark honest conversations and give others the confidence to speak up too. This is the kind of dialogue we need, real people, real stories and real impact.

Come along, hear them for yourself, join the conversation.

These behind-the-scenes moments from Fresh Knickers and a Gin & Tonic hold just as much heart as the scenes you’ll see on stage. It’s where characters are built over coffee breaks, lines are run again and again with a laugh, and costumes are adjusted as someone shouts they’ve lost a shoe for the third time that day.

We'd love to see you there. Tickets and info at www.freshknickersplay.com 💗
