I'm seeing the Pajama Men and Victoria Melody, both of whom I adore. I discovered Victoria Melody by accident last year, when I had a date in north London and the only thing to do was see this one-woman show about pigeon fanciers in a deconsecrated church. I had no idea what to expect, and she was brilliant! This year she brought out another show which I'll let her describe:
Victoria unknowingly discovered that her dog had prize winning potential at a charity dog show. She seized this opportunity to access the sub culture of this extraordinarily exclusive members only club. Major Tom's first show was a disaster, feeling an overpowering sense of guilt about her dog being criticised. Victoria decided to put herself through the same process by becoming a beauty queen. Major Tom and Victoria increasingly immerse themselves into the obsessive and confusing realm of personal scrutiny as they participate as genuine contestants and aim to win. This project will follow their story. It will reflect on the British fascination with celebrities, beauty, and winning.
