Event information
Join us for this wonderful play about clothes, cats and counter-culture.
Sheffield, 1989. Loveable, eccentric septuagenarian, Hilda, has run a second-hand clothes shop for decades. She does it to make money to feed 30 stray cats. One day, a journalist from The Guardian walks in…
Join Hilda’s granddaughter, Julie Flower, for a 5-star Edinburgh Fringe 2024 hit. A solo, multi-character show about family history subverting expectations.
Step inside Grandma’s shop, a nostalgic world of old carrier bags, pools coupons and vintage clothes… presided over by an unlikely punk icon.
