Combining a Dr Strange love-inspired performance with a daring forum for public conversation, Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) explores ageing, anxiety, hidden desires and how to look forward when the future is uncertain. In the Situation Room, twelve audience members are invited to become a Council of Elders to discuss the global issues of the day, as the company weave in satirical insights and humour. Adopting the characters of a bombastic general and ineffectual president, Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver of Split Britches present this interactive piece as equal parts comedy performance and urgent political discussion.

Split Britches continues with the duo and solo work of Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw spanning satirical, gender-bending performance, public engagement, videography, digital and print media, explorations of ageing and wellbeing, and iconic lesbian-feminist theatre.

Presented by Take Me Somewhere, National Theatre of Scotland and Platform
with support from Luminate and Outspoken Arts Scotland.
