YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT

Written by Anna Harpin and and Jimmy Whiteaker

Directed by Anna Harpin

Performed by Susie Riddell and Adam Fuller

Somewhere barely off the coast of Bournemouth two twins energetically prepare for the lives they may never live. A pair of siblings rehearse their whole lives, daily. Taking instruction from the celebrated Modern Guide to Manual Living and Hygiene, the twins perform key moments of a life worth having. They believe we will all learn something, finally. A hilarious and bleak new show from Idiot Child that explores, with its audience, what it means to get life right.

This is fresh writing, full of rather warped notions and damaged souls, that is laugh out loud funny but also shockingly sad.

★★★★ THE GUARDIAN

"I’m only going to tell you that I let myself down badly about halfway through by making snorty laughing noises for a long time, and felt that I hadn’t done it right, but I feel strongly that you should go and that there is every chance that you will do it right."
