It all started when…
Back in 2016, New York Neo-Futurists Cecil Baldwin, Meg Bashwiner, Desiree Burch, Kate Jones and Jeffrey Cranor came to London to do a three week run at the Rosemary Branch Theatre. They held auditions and Degenerate Fox was born! Desiree and Kate stayed in London and taught the world’s newest Neo-Futurists the ways of the aesthetic and at 9pm on Friday 21 April 2017, The Dirty Thirty was performed for the very first time.
Since then, Degenerate Fox have performed over 1,250 original plays. We’ve started an Education & Outreach program, running workshops for young people at community organisations and schools across England. We’ve performed with some of our North American cousins at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We’ve organised and sponsored a free community self-defence workshop, and raised money for multiple charities and community organisations. We’ve grown in numbers year on year.
In September 2020, we temporarily moved our show online, creating The Dirty 30 II: Electric Pay-Per-View, enabling us to reach a wider audience than ever before.
We are so delighted to have won an Online Commendation from the wonderful people at The Offies for The Dirty 30 II: Electric Pay-Per-View.
Degenerate Fox is proudly made up of talented performers, writers, directors and theatre-makers from across the globe, some of whom are LGBTQIA+ and disabled.
Here’s to many more!
