Created by Liverpool-based story-artist Stephe Harrop, Knickers and Queens is a fierce and funny double-bill of spoken-word storytelling for grown-ups.

Henry V: The King’s Knickers wilfully picks at the fraying knicker elastic of national identity, asking what a mythic hero king – and really huge pants – can tell us about being English today.

Queens of Albion: Bronze and Stone fuses medieval poetry with autobiography, spilling the beans on how a giant made Stephe miss her ninth birthday party, and finally setting the record straight on the story of Albion’s mythic foremothers.

Now performed together for the first time, these two works take in Agincourt, M&S undies, giants, beanstalks, and traumatic party games to examine the imaginative state of England in 2022.

Part history, part story-set, part straight-up rant, Knickers & Queens is a fierce & funny double-bill of spoken-word storytelling for grown-ups.
