Lowborn Down the Chipper
Written and Performed by Kerry Hudson
When Kerry Hudson was born, she was destined to be the
latest in a long line of Aberdeen fishwives. You know her type, a life of
grinding poverty, the worst flat on the worst estate, and bread and marge
sandwiches before benefits day.
But Kerry had bigger dreams and the fight, humour and
strength of her community to back her up.
Now a bestselling author and social activist, Kerry Hudson
dons a chip-shop apron to give an intimate one-woman performance of stories
from her working class childhood. Told amidst the sizzle of oil and the scent
of vinegar, Kerry shines a light into the margins of life, and people you might
recognise, in modern Britain.
Order your fish and chips and settle in for an event unlike
anything you have ever been to before.
