Athena Kugblenu: Magnifying Class

Athena Kugblenu has a conservatory (it came with the man). But what does that tell us about her identity?

She’s got an aluminium hooded extractor fan and uses fabric conditioner. But does the quilted toilet roll in both of Athena’s toilets signify a working class girl done good?

Or does it say that the rigid way we look at class might need a rethink?

This stand up show tackles these questions and gives Athena the courage to finally live her truth as an upwardly mobile individual.
