SUZI RUFFELL: NOCTURNAL
Pleasance Below, Pleasance Courtyard
Suzi Ruffell is worried about everything – from someone breaking into her flat, to human rights, and her cat’s quality of life – and it’s stopping her from sleeping. Perhaps we’re all just as baffled as each other and just need to get it all off our chest? Well, if so, there can be no better spokeswoman for these confused, troubled and sleepless times. Let’s do an all-nighter! tinyurl.com/DIVANOCTURNAL

VULVARINE
Assembly George Square Studios
Bryony Buckle is astoundingly average. Her days are filled with mind-numbing office work, thinking about lunch and lusting after Orson Bloom from IT. But following a dose of hormone therapy and a well-timed bolt of lightning, Bryony gains superhero abilities and a brand new persona: Vulvarine, saviour of womankind. Where is all the tampon tax going? Who is The Mansplainer, and what is his evil plan? Grab your tights, your spanx and your most supportive sports bra. It’s hero time. tinyurl.com/DIVAVULVA
