Gwyneth Goes Skiing
According to Linus Karp, who takes the central role, this “is going to be camp, it’s going to be Christmas, it’s going to be Goopy”. It’s the very silly story of how Gwynnie was involved in a collision with a retired optometrist on the slopes, an incident that would end up in court.
⬤ Pleasance Theatre, to Dec 23
