It’s 1972. An era of possibility, polyester and pubic hair. Ziggy Stardust is on Top of the Pops, Penny is writing an essay on Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Christine is watching Deepthroat. Brian is confused.
The Wardrobe Ensemble tell the story of the class of ‘72 with a handsome funk guitarist and some spacehoppers. Was it easier back then? Where did we go wrong? A brisk romp through the ins and outs of those excellently awkward first sexual encounters.
Tickets: £10 (£8) (£5 First Tuesday) Age Recommendation 18+ (Brief Nudity)

St Sidwell’s Point is the new name for Exeter’s landmark leisure complex and pool, situated in the new St Sidwell’s Quarter.
The name – currently a working title - comes from the adopted Saint of Exeter. Saint Sidwell was martyred in the 8th Century and a water well built where she died at the junction of York Road and Well Street, in front of what is today St Sidwell’s School. People came from miles around to bathe in her waters and water was channelled from the well to parts of Exeter using the Underground Passages
