Grandma’s Shop

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 multi-character solo play about family history subverting expectations. All in a nostalgic world of old carrier bags, pools coupons and vintage clothes.
