Shades of Mediocrity
Lily and Maeve are well on their way to becoming just like their idols, Simon & Garfunkel.
Admittedly, they’re not American, they’re not men and they’re not musical geniuses. But they’re not going to let a few technicalities get in the way of their dreams.
Shades of Mediocrity is a ‘sparkling and provocative’, ‘superbly funny’ show about friendship, artistic angst & niche musical fandom.
Inspired by music documentaries, Stars in Their Eyes, comic sans & polo-neck jumpers, Good Friends Lily & Maeve attempt to lip-sync, dance and juggle their way through this riotous examination of fame & failure.
