This is a true story. It’s a few summers ago and a Maltese producer invites Sh!t Theatre out to her island paradise for Valletta European Capital of Culture...

Lads on tour Becca and Louise are paid an inflated fee to make a show about expats, for an audience of expats. To be performed, just once, in Valletta’s The Pub.

Easy enough: get drunk with the expats, talk to them about Brexit – and sing it all back to them. Sh!t Theatre loves pubs. They could never have anticipated what happened next...

From one small island in the sea to another small island in the sea, Sh!t Theatre encountered mystery and murder in the fight to be European.

Expect free rum, crowd surfing, sea shanties and a live dog in this rollicking and riotous exploration of immigration and home.

Sh!t Theatre are Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole. They have been working and drinking together for 15 years. They make politically engaged live performance with a DIY aesthetic using a collage of documentary, song, comedy and multimedia. Awards include Adelaide Fringe Best Theatre Award 2020, Critics Circle Award, Sydney Fringe Best Theatre Award 2024 and two Scotsman Fringe First Awards.
