Beards! Beards! Beards!

— Beatrix didn’t want a tiara. Beatrix wanted a BEARD!

From Charles Darwin to Abraham Lincoln, Karl Marx to Mr Twit, it is said that the secret to power and greatness is all in the size and shape of the beard. Beards! Beards! Beards! is a tale of one young girl’s increasingly inventive efforts to grow the world’s most magnificent beard.

Armed with bubble bath and canned spaghetti, join a madcap and hilarious musical romp as our plucky young heroine shakes up social rules and attempts to answer the questions that have puzzled mankind since the dawn of the beard.

"An engagingly witty gem of a piece that is really worth shaving off an hour out of your busy schedule for."

— Theatrescenes
"Wonderfully straddles the line between a Gilbert & Sullivan sensibility and the Flight of the Conchords kind of kinkier, anarchic humour."
