Rosalie Minnitt: Clementine Comes To The Wardrobe Theatre
Fringe favourite comes to Bristol next April
It’s described as ‘hysterical, deranged’ and an ‘irreverent Austen parody’. Rosalie Minnitt’s Clementine sounds like the perfect theatrical treat and it’s coming to Bristol.
Lady Clementine has until her 27th birthday to find The One. When her latest beau goes missing, she embarks on a hilariously unhinged quest to solve the mystery of her ill fortune. But with neither sense nor sensibility, will our romantic heroine find love in time?
The show has been a sell-out at both the 2023 and 2024 Edinburgh Fringe festivals. Its creator Rosalie Minnitt has also landed three Soho Theatre residencies.
Audiences should expect Bridgerton for ‘chronically online girlies’. It’s bursting with TikTok sounds, misplaced pop-culture references and historical anachronisms.
Clementine asks if we have really moved on from the past? With an obsession with finding The One, do we really understand what it means to love and be loved?
Rosalie says:“Clementine is a comedy character I created when I was lost and heartbroken. I made the show that I needed when I was 24 and suddenly couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. I realised that the insatiable diet of Disney-Happily-Ever-Afters and bleached blonde Naughties heartthrobs that I had been bingeing on since I could walk left me hungry and angry.
“After I debuted last year, I got hundreds of DMs + messages + emails telling me about how Clementine made them feel. Women saw this show multiple times. Then they brought their friends and sisters and mums and aunts. One girl came four times and she wrote to me: ‘if someone asked me why I love women and love being a woman, I’d show them this show’.”
Rosalie Minnitt: Clementine will be coming to The Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol on 03 – 05 April 2025
