FREE ENTRY SHOW - NO TICKETS NEEDED

The term ‘Suzy Homemaker’ is used as a derisive reference to any woman with habits linked to stereotypical domestic activities traditionally done by women.

Suzy Homemaker was a line of miniature functional toy household appliances produced by Topper Toys, and launched in 1966. It taught girls how to be the perfect housewife, just like their mother. In this performance we see women throughout history trapped in a role they did not ask for, they had no choice. Domestic Bliss quickly turns into a distorted nightmare. 

Meet Suzy! Suzy is a 1950’s housewife that is quite strange, but to the outside world she seems like a wonderfully put together wife- neat, prim and she makes an excellent Victoria Sponge Cake. Everything she does must be perfect; heaven forbid if the neighbours saw!
