Created with Laurie Ward and Charli Cowgill of piss / CARNATION, Ugly Sisters won the Untapped Award, and enjoyed a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, before transferring to New Diorama Theatre. The Production was also awarded the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence and the Binge Fringe Queer Performers Award.

On the day The Female Eunuch is issued in America, a transgender woman in flapping draperies rushes up to Germaine Greer and says: thank you - thank you so much for all you’ve done for us girls. Ugly Sisters is an operatic, heretic, parasitic and hallucinatory retelling of this very moment, of sisterhood, and of all feminist history.
