‘A force of nature’ invites you to reconnect with the ferocious parts of yourself as Naomi Wood returns to Lakeside following the success of her one-woman show 'Gobbess' in June 2025.
Let the pearl clutchers seethe, because monsters create their own mythology.
A spoken word show for anyone who has been afraid to dip their toe in or felt all at sea. A true story about feeling exposed in the ocean and learning to love both people and pond life. A ‘highly relatable’ show that will leave you feeling ‘seen’. This is a show about the transformative power of chucking yourself in the deep end.
