We are in the Speed Queen, the last launderette on the Isle of Wight!

Here, Pet, an ancient washerwoman, divines the fates of her customers through their dirty laundry, and a story unfolds of an island ill-at-ease.

Part folklore, part pitch-black comedy, Speed Queen is a hauntingly funny debut that blends the Isle of Wight’s untold myths and hidden histories with folk horror, original music, and razor-sharp character work in this double Comedian’s Choice award-nominated, “gorgeously evocative, otherworldly debut hour from a rising star.” (The Reviews Hub).

Directed by Tanika Lay-Meachen.
Costumes by Sonya Mullen.
Original music composed by Tom Penn,with lyrics by Ozzy Algar.
