What's on in London: Gwyneth Goes Skiing
Leaning into the absurdity of the Goopiest court case ever seen in Utah.
Gwyneth Goes Skiing returns to the London stage for a run at The Pleasance from 11-21 December.
An absurdist comedy with music and puppets, Gwyneth Goes Skiing is a dramatisation of the events in Utah that led to what could be described as the trial of the century.
Presented by Awkward Productions - the same team that has given us tributes to Diana and also the film of the musical Cats - Linus Karp plays Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Martin plays Dr Terry Sanderson.
“To experience the amazing highs this show has given us as a small, queer theatre duo has been nothing short of a dream come true..." said Linus and Joseph. "To have performed for many of the people we portray in the show, to have Gwyneth Paltrow herself be asked about it and to have reached sold-out audiences and had unreal reactions have has left us truly gooped. It feels so right to bring this show full circle and take it back to the gwonderful Pleasance where it all started.”
Tickets available from The Pleasance
