The Very Dark, Very Ugly, Very Evil Forces of the Manosphere VS The Girls of St.Faustina’s – Alma Tavern Theatre

Manon Beaumont, a year 12 student at the prestigious boarding school of St Faustina’s, is going to destroy the Manosphere with her brand new incel-bashing musical.

She has rallied seven talented girls in her choir to hijack the school assembly. Instead of performing the practised to perfection ballads that they have been working towards all term, she wants to debut her brand new, piece de la resistance, incel bashing musical.

The hypothetical discussions that the girls have about the manosphere as they tirelessly rehearse the anticipated production are suddenly, shockingly, catapulted into reality when one of the choir girls falls victim to the school’s culture of misogyny.

The new show features original music and confronts the threat that developing AI will have on gendered violence and misogyny in the future – to the backdrop of fierce female ambition and rebellion. This is no sop story, it’s a call to arms!
