Meet six lovely housewives, they truly are the epitome of perfection! They have perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect children, perfect homes and perfect lives in every way. Until a civilised tea party for genteel ladies descends into a fight of war-like proportions. Only Shakespeare provides the words for their voices to be heard. Once the illusion is broken … what will be left? Who are these perfect creatures really, when all is said and done?

Highly acclaimed company The Colour Blind Project brings an unashamedly gutsy new show to the boards at the Pav. Keep Smiling! The Housewife’s Guide is a bawdy, cheeky, and at times haunting tale of six women striving for the most perfect perfection. It is a tale of survival, but always with a smile!

The hilarious, and sometimes farcical, Keep Smiling! The Housewife’s Guide has been created by 6 bountiful female performers and is inspired by a selection of characters written by William Shakespeare – but, don’t be fooled, this is no ordinary Shakespearean adaptation.
