Sh!t Theatre: EVITA TOO
Join the disco dictators as they tell the wild story of Isabel Perón, the go-go-dancer-turned-president who led Argentina for 18 disastrous months.
The greatest story never told of the first ever female president of a country in the history of the world…
During Isabel Perón’s time in power (before she was overthrown in a military coup), Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice were writing their blockbuster musical about her dead husband’s even deader ex-wife. And now, nobody remembers Isabel. Coincidence?
Sh!t Theatre are here to right that wrong.
EVITA TOO tells Isabel’s story – and the story of Sh!t Theatre, who travel across Argentina and Spain in search of the mysterious former president.
While Sh!t Theatre endeavour to write a musical to match Evita, their lives surprisingly and tragically intertwine with Isabel’s.
Truth! Justice! Songs! Wizards?! Yes, wizards. And if you play your cards right, naked roller-skating.
