Dirty Work

Mary Floppins has cracked the s**ts. Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys - and girls - a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. 

Returning home from a two-year creative sabbatical in France and London, Australia's Jessica Barton combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning, and deep-cleaning to present a skanky and empowering Fringe Comedy debut.
