karaoke
& the quest to survive
A one-woman autobiographical piece of theatre.
Set in Huyton, it tells the tale of what it was like growing up as a woman in a working class town.
With lots of added stories, silliness and questionable vocals…
Wives’ Tales present Karaoke and The Quest to Survive
Enter our homemade karaoke bar for a night of stories and questionable vocals.
You make the decision, not on vocal ability but on sheer dance move potential, you fill in the Karaoke slip, your name is called, the words appear on the screen, the mic feels heavy in your hand, you open your mouth and… proper go for it.
Join us on a journey through every summer holiday this Huyton girl ventured, filled with tales of the agonizing decision each family member had to make when faced with the question “what’s your karaoke song?”
