Every dress, every suit tells a story.
The year is 1989 and loveable, eccentric septuagenarian, Hilda, has run a second-hand clothes shop in Sheffield for three decades. She does it to make money to feed 30 stray cats. One day a journalist from The Guardian walks in.
35 years later, her granddaughter brings to life the story of one ordinary, yet extraordinary, shopkeeper.
Welcome to a theatre show about love, memory and the stories clothes have to tell.
This scripted work is a comedy-drama which weaves childhood memories and personal reminiscence, different character perspectives, and ongoing historical research into Hilda's life. Grandma's Shop takes place against the backdrop of Sheffield in the 1980s, a city struggling to find its post-industrial identity in Margaret Thatcher's Britain.
Written and performed by Julie Flower, an award-winning improviser who regularly takes work to international festivals. Join Julie as she re-engages with a woman who was so influential in her life, and a city that she loves but has left behind. All in the evocative and tactile environment of a second-hand clothes shop.
