MEAT - Brighton Fringe
MEAT
After a sell out tour in 2025, MEAT comes to Brighton fringe; a brilliantly bold, tour-de-force performance, hilariously funny, profoundly emotional, a powerhouse production.

In an age of patriarchy, where women’s bodies are commodified objects, MEAT is an electrifying roar of fury, a rallying cry of protest, a unifying celebration of strength packed with heroism & heart. Shame breeds in silence, this show gives a safe space to roar, for anyone who’s got a body.

Follow ‘A girl’ from age 9 into her 30s, detailing her journey through puberty, misogyny, and identity. A solo performer, but a story that is all of ours.

Based on verbatim accounts. MEAT is a playful and poignant exploration of identity. A dirty dive into the foundations of power, an injection of a new narrative. A theatrical hybrid of poetry, clowning, cabaret and dance featuring original music written by multi-award winner Elle Dillon-Reams.

Reviews


Brilliantly executed. Tears up the rulebook. MEAT is perfectly disobedient.

A tour-de-force performance fusing spoken word and physical theatre. Playful, witty, empowering.

MEAT is the best thing at this year's fringe. If I could give it more than five stars I would.
