Claire Dowie’s Swansong: H to He (I’m turning into a Man)

18 Finborough Rd, London, SW10 9ED

Description

One morning, Helen wakes up and something’s…different. Her hand doesn’t feel like her own. Her voice has dropped an octave. And that’s just the start.

In this razor-sharp, surreal, and hilarious solo show, inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Claire Dowie takes us on a wild ride through gender, identity, and self-perception as a woman finds herself inexplicably—and irreversibly—turning into a man.

With biting wit, physical comedy, and moments of genuine vulnerability, H to He unpacks what it means to be a “real” man, a “proper” woman, and whether either actually makes sense…
