Fixing: A Drag Show About Family Breakups, Car Breakdowns, and How to Get Over Them.
Drag mechanic Natalie Spanner would like to teach you all about holistic car care – how to look after our cars, but also ourselves – and invite you to get down and dirty under the bonnet.
She’s also here to help Matt navigate childhood memories of the time just after Matt’s parents divorced, when everything seemed like an adventure. The time Matt and their dad were closest.
These two worlds collide in a show which is both outrageous and touching, laugh-out-loud and heartfelt, interactive and caring. A show about family breakups, learning car maintenance and choosing the right shade of lipstick to do it in.
Together, Matt and Natalie will try to ask, in an increasingly broken world, how might we repair ourselves, together?
