Scottee grew up around mould, mice and clothes off the market. After a chance meeting with some posh kids, his Mum teaching him to talk proper and him successfully persuading his parents to take him off free school meals, Scottee knew he didn’t want to be common.
In his final solo show, Scottee uncovers what it is to be embarrassed about where you’re from and how you can pretend to be posher than you are, and explores why we all get a thrill playing god with green tokens from Waitrose.
Class isn't a show for those processing issues around domestic violence, food addiction and the effects of growing up in poverty.
This is a show for the middle classes.
“★★★★★
A brilliant, angry, damaged, brutal, savagely funny reflection on what it means growing up working-class”
“★★★★
Scottee creates theatres of discomfort… If you’re middle class, you might prefer to avoid a situation in which you’ll be caricatured, patronised or judged; not everyone, of course, has that luxury”
“★★★★
It’s furious and chilling… Questions about collective responsibility, and who theatre is really for, are not always addressed in performance. Scottee goes there, because few other people do”
