Love in the Key of Britpop

Anglophile Aussie girl meets English boy in a Melbourne indie disco in the early hours of New Years Day 2006. A blur of love, gin and tonic, and passionate Britpop debate ensues. But is singing along, hand on heart, to all the same favourite songs enough to sustain a relationship? Britpop fanatic Emily Andersen performs bittersweet poetry for anyone who wishes it was still 1995. This solo show is an ode to Britpop, nightclub romance, visa marriages, and anglophilic love. Love in the Key of Britpop was first performed as part of the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. "**** Andersen’s poetry has that magic ability to err between pithy one-liners and something more honest and bleak” - Broadway Baby. “A must-see for anyone who grew up in the 90s and enjoys playing ‘spot the lyrical reference’” - The Scotsman.
