A Performance by Sh!t Theatre Just before Brexit, Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole, better known as Sh!t Theatre, were invited to Valletta, the capital of Malta that had been named the European Capital of Culture for 2018. The plan: to talk to British expats at The Pub, a local expat pub, and drink rum. What starts as a fast-paced, entertaining revue of stories, songs and video clips gradually takes on darker shades.
