SePondment
Feeling sweaty and overwhelmed surviving summer in the big Smoke? Wade in with lifeguard Nikki for an evening of cabaret as she cracks the secret to surviving London life, pondlife that is.
On secondment from a Coventry splash pool, Nikki has been sworn in at London Ladies Pond to protect the women, the water and the wildlife at all costs, but not always in that order.
Swimmers/sweaty city-folks assemble for an evening of pondside comedy, clowning and cabaret. Get ready to learn some vital pond etiquette before taking that well-earned plunge.
Sepondment is a heart-warming and very silly work in progress show written and performed by Sinéad Brady, directed by Rosa Bowden and produced by Charlotte McShane. It’s about class, nature, loneliness, trying to find your place in London and obviously, Sisqo.
