Theatre REVIEW: Chunky Jewellery - ★★★★★
Combining a potent patchwork of theatre, dance, comedy, and self-penned and borrowed songs, Chunky Jewellery tells the story of two single mothers navigating life, death and everything in-between.
Two friends, one year, two births, a death, 18 bursts of laughter, 34,000 tears (each), and one piece of chunky jewellery.
It was a year to forget, but instead Natasha and Jude co-created an epic autobiographical show with Ben Duke (Olivier Nominated / Lost Dog).
Chunky Jewellery is an honest and raw account of sisterhood and solidarity in grief, survival with courage and resilience…making a life from the fragments of their dreams and their kids’ musical instruments.
Hailed as “relatable and moving – a winning piece of autobiographical dance-theatre” ★★★★ (The Times), these uncompromising and formidable performers deliver an unflinchingly human and life-affirming piece of theatre.

"Chunky jewellery was such an original and moving show! There were funny parts but also very sad parts and I will admit, I did cry at the end. It was described as dance theatre. It had mainly scenes involving the only 2 people in it but included a bit of dance and singing although it wasn't quite a musical. Its about 2 women attempting to come up with an idea for a show and they end up coming up with quite a few, sad and happy, and even came up with a "podcast". It touches on themes such as birth, death, illness and family difficulties. Its a 14+ for language and themes. I would personally rate it 4.5 stars."
