Smile Club, the new play from theatre-maker and actor Andrea Heaton, follows Lisa, an attendee of Smile Club – Smile Club being the government drive that exists to tame unruly women in Andrea’s imagined dystopian future. Although, as she and Mickey touch on, that dystopia feels closer than is comfortable.
Smile Club is a Red Ladder production and opens at Leeds Playhouse on March 5 before going on tour.
