Popelei is an ongoing collaboration between writer-performer Tamsin Hurtado Clarke and writer-director Scarlett Plouviez.
For the past decade we have been making theatre and performances that are authentic, energetic and hopeful, reflecting the world as we experience it and as we want it to be.
We’re here to smash the patriarchy, both onstage and in the bar afterwards, and to show you a really good time.
