Clothes. Cats. Counter-culture. Sheffield. 1989. Loveable, eccentric septuagenarian, Hilda, has run a second-hand clothes shop for decades. She does it to make money to feed 30 stray cats. One day, a journalist from the Guardian walks in... Join Hilda's granddaughter for a solo show about family history subverting expectations. Step inside Hilda's shop, a nostalgic world of old carrier bags, pools coupons and vintage clothes... presided over by an unlikely punk icon. Julie Flower presents a multi-character comedy drama about love, memories and the stories our clothes have to tell.

Theatre At The Fringe - Julie Flower: Grandma's Shop

"Grandma's Shop is a multi-character solo comedy-drama, based on the life of my own grandma, Hilda Flower, who ran a second-hand clothes shop in the centre of Sheffield for well over 30 years, from the early 60s to the mid-90s."
