Are you seeking a show with substance? A show that makes you think deeply about the sorry state of our world? Well, this is not that show!
Petty Grievances is not about heavy existential stuff, it’s about the banal bothers of everyday life. The tiny papercuts of modern adulting: things like taxes, traffic, forehead wrinkles and loud neighbours.
These kinds of grievances are petty (hence the title of the show), but that doesn’t mean they aren’t important! Petty grievances can be helpful distractions from the bigger and scarier grievances that are out there (“I can’t do much about climate change, but I can Botox my forehead!”). Petty grievances can remind us that we're not alone, that we’re part of a community of people who share the same infuriating experiences (“OMG, how about that traffic this morning?”). And petty grievances can also be a great source of comedy!
So come along and revel in a night of musical comedy about the kinds of petty complaints that have distracted, frustrated and sustained small talk for generations.
