Clothes, cats and counterculture. Sheffield, 1989. Loveable, eccentric septuagenarian, Hilda, has run a second-hand clothes shop for decades. The profits feed 30 stray cats. One day, a journalist from The Guardian walks in... Hilda's granddaughter, Julie Flower, returns with her 5-star Fringe 2024 hit! A solo, multi-character show about family history subverting expectations. Step inside Grandma's shop, a nostalgic world of old carrier bags, pools coupons and vintage clothes... presided over by an unlikely punk icon. ★★★★★ (ThreeWeeks). ★★★★ (List). 'You will leave bathed in the warm glow of humanity at its best' ★★★★ (TheEdinburghReporter.co.uk).
