Description

Speakbeast are doing an agricultural conference, and it’s got all the things we think agricultural conferences usually have. We’ve got sleazy salesmen with very fast cars, we’ve got escaped cows, we’ve got two mice in a cardboard box and we’ve got a terrible feeling that, no matter how hard we try, this show is going to be about transphobia. The Freemartin is a puppet-filled, hormone-fuelled, absurd attempt by three queers to understand why the world is cruel to trans people, and why you should be worried about it. It’s also about fences, tractors and terrible dancing.

An absolutely spellbinding slice of chaos, charm and not so silent rage that will leave you immediately wanting to see more of their work.
