About this event

DollfaceTheatre Presents Hourglass written & directed by Alice Mayer Hourglass is a one woman darkly comedic deep dive into dating horrifically. Charlie thinks she’s turning into a black widow spider because all her exes keep dying after they break up... except one. Hourglass teeters on the edge of horror and romantic comedy, tackling themes of guilt, sexual assault and death through music, monologues, puppetry and original songs. This production is part of GrimFest 2026, a celebration of dark and twisted theatre in the bleeding heart of London! It’s got Legs’ - Audience Member Insta and TikTok @therealicemayer Running time: 50mins Content Warnings: 18+ Themes of Death, Sexual Assault/Rape, Bad Language, Gore and Adult Themes.
