EXPLAINING BEING PAN TO NAN

Written & performed by P Burton-Morgan

‘Generally people prefer the aubergine to the cucumber, Nan. 
Yes, that is why the others ‘laugh emoji’ your moussaka chat in the family WhatsApp group.’

Sexting in your 80s, knitting kinks and discovering Grandad’s penchant for a Sunday blow job - this stand up / poetry show unpacks explaining your queer identity (non-binary, pansexual) to your 86 year old Nan. Expect butt plugs, pegging dildos and maybe even a few stray tears from this wildly explicit, unexpectedly heartwarming solo show. Better known for their work as a writer & director (Sherlock Holmes and the PoisonWood (Watermill), Little Prince (Taunton Brewhouse) and In the Willows (Exeter Northcott & UK tour), Ledbury Poetry Slam Winner P Burton-Morgan returns to the stage in this no-holds-barred poetry show. Funny, sexy & queer - bring your Nan (but maybe warn her first.)

As a poet they have been published in Propel Magazine, anthologized by Arachne press and The Chimes, and they’ve performed at Primadonna Festival, Hot Flush & Dirty Laundry and Ledbury Poetry Festival where they won the 2024 Ledbury Poetry Slam.
