DRESSED. Comes to Tron Theatre

ThisEgg will be bringing their new production dressed. to the Tron this March after a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

dressed. is a true story, told by four women who have been friends since school. After being stripped at gun point, Lydia set out to redress herself with a new healing set of armour, believing that:

'Wearing clothes I have made is the most honest way I have of being in the world.'

In 2016 Lydia gave herself one year to make all her clothes. At the end of the year, she gave away all the clothes she had ever bought from shops. She now only wears clothes she has made. Made

My Wardrobe is the blog she created to document and share the process and everything behind it.

dressed. is directed by ThisEgg Artistic Director Josie Dale-Jones, with both performing in the show alongside Imogen Mahdavi - who also performs original music - and Olivia Norris, who

provides original choreography.

Combining direct address, movement, original music, dance and live sewing, dressed. sees the cast tell Lydia's story with extraordinary intimacy, humour and creativity. dressed. is about the power of clothes to define us,

to liberate us, to hide us and to embellish us. It is about making something beautiful out of something dark and traumatic. It is a celebration of female performance and friendship.
