Who's a Pretty...Insert Gender Here]
Stephen grew up with Action-Man and aspirations of being the next James Bond. Shaunna grew up with Barbie and an unhealthy obsession with Britney Spears.
Did this early exhibition of the perfect man & woman impact their adult life?Well, Stephen now goes to the gym six days a week and Shaunna has dyed her hair 12 different shades of blond in the last four months. In this media drenched world gender is more than possessing the corresponding reproductive organs. It’s an infinite list of rules and guidelines.
Join us in this pop culture parade of dated tradition, media manipulation and a woman in spanx.
Developed at FRINGE LAB with the support of Tiger Dublin Fringe.
Who's a Pretty...[Insert Gender Here] is an original work in development showcasing in Smock Alley's Collaborations festival 2015 presented by Good Buzz Productions & Shaunna Lee Lynch
