Nina Conti: Dolly Mixtures

Jump to reviews or comments

Groundbreaking ventriloquist Nina Conti introduces her daughter, her handyman, her local laundry proprietor, her oldest friend and a stray dog in a show that refuses to go as rehearsed. Expect a thoughtful mediation on love, life and the edge of existence. And once you've bought your ticket, let that expectation go. 'Uproariously hilarious' (Scotsman). 'I laughed until I couldn't breathe' (Melbourne Age). 'Put simply, Nina Conti is a genius' (Mirror). 'A mighty imagination at work' (Sunday Times). Ages 14+.
