A Foot is Not an Appropriate Prize for the Tombola is a comedy show at The Pleasance Edinburgh. It features Daniel McVey performing in drag as Lydia. The plot involves cosy crime and cosmic horror.
Cosy crime and cosmic horror collide as the indomitable Lydia, performed in drag by Daniel McVey, attempts to keep the ‘bunting and bake-sale’ festivities on track while navigating an absurd investigation. As the narrative peels back the quaint facade of Greenwold Village to reveal a sinister machinery at work, spectators are armed with scripts and puppets to inhabit the village's eccentric inhabitants. Delving into the unseen structures and traditions within communities, A Foot is Not an Appropriate Prize for the Tombola is an absurdist murder mystery that encourages audiences to question how authority figures handle and distribute the truth.
