​Shades of Mediocrity, 2019 - 20


Lily and Maeve are well on their way to becoming just like their idols, Simon & Garfunkel.

 Admittedly, they’re not American, they’re not men and they’re not musical geniuses.
   
But they’re not going to let a few technicalities get in the way of their dreams.  

Shades of Mediocrity is a ‘sparkling and provocative’, ‘superbly funny’ new show about

friendship, artistic angst and niche musical fandom. 



Inspired by music documentaries, Stars in their Eyes, Comic Sans and polo-neck jumpers, Good

Friends Lily and Maeve attempt to lip-sync, dance and juggle their way through this riotous

examination of fame and failure. 



A Theatre Deli supported production, previously sold out at Calm Down Dear 2019 (Camden

People’s Theatre).

The company is supported by the Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre.
