Summary

“We must be the women of the future standing here in this bathroom because we look like sex and power, we look like sex and power, and you don’t even know it, standing there in that motherfucking pantsuit.”

Jeanine is determined to improve her life. With sex. With dance. With new hobbies, like horticulture. But self-improvement is hard. Reclaiming your dreams is hard. And personal hygiene is really, really hard.

History
Dirty Crusty premiered at The Yard Theatre in London in October 2019, under the direction of Jay Miller.

“Nothing short of electric.” – The Upcoming

“Thrusts itself upon the audience with a near-reckless openness.” – Broadway World
