Rebecca and Louise present Evita... the sequel?


Listen Later

Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole, as Sh!t Theatre, have been making theatre together for fifteen years.

They will be spending the 2025 Christmas season at London's Southbank Centre with their new show Evita Too, set in the presidency of Argentina, like the other Evita, but they are looking at the perhaps more interesting story of Juan Perón's second wife, Isabel, who became president after his death.

BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Rebecca and Louise about their discovery of the story of "gogo-dancer-turned-president" Isabel, how they turned this into a show and their research in Argentina and Spain, as well as how the company was originally formed and whether there are any regrets about its name.

Evita Too from Sh!t Theatre will be performed in the Purcell Room at London's Southbank Centre from 9 to 31 December 2025.
