Naughty Corner Productions

The Bastard Queen follows the last small community in a post apocalyptic world whose attempts to cling to their former life are both understandable and ludicrous. Whether it be watching a cardboard box or operating it with a shoe, they have a veil of normality that has not truly been lifted. For a while it seems to be shaping up as a heart-warming tale of people's attitudes overcoming extraordinary adversity. That is, until a new arrival appears, trying to steal their supplies. Unwittingly she shatters the fragile coexistence of the group as she is begrudgingly accepted.

Devised, directed and performed by graduates of Edge Hill University, now known as Naughty Corner Productions. Not only was the play performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, The Bastard Queen finished top of the pile, joint winner of the Sunday Times national students drama award.

Contains strong language and adult themes which some people might find offensive. Recommended for ages 18 years plus.
