The Beginner's Guide to Navigation

“You’re not an anarchist. You’re from Swindon. You listen to Adele, you have a cat called Milly and you like Goggle Box”
 
​Are you angry?
Do you want to change things?  
Is anyone actually listening?
 
To be honest they’re probably not.
But that’s okay. No one’s listening to Cat either. But that’s not going to stop her. She’s on a campaign. A campaign that’s going to make waves. A campaign that’s going to ruffle some feathers.
A campaign against… maps. Why?
BECAUSE MAPS LIE.
Geographers of the world beware.

A mad cap political satire about anti-map protest groups, surviving your in-laws cheese “jamborees” and why Big Bird is indoctrinating your children.

Created and performed by Madeleine Allardice, Dylan Frankland and Megan Luke, as part of The Bike Shed Theatre's 2017 From Devon With Love Festival. This piece went on to  perform throughout the South West with performances at The Lab, Theatre Royal Plymouth  and at The Boat Shed, Exeter.. 

‘A madcap and very witty romp... It’s great.’
‘It’s about not letting yourself grow into some middle-aged, apathetic, boring, old twat.’
Exeunt

'Fun-filled and thought-provoking, smile raising and chuckle churning... a new niche between satire and the absurd'
The PRSD

‘Ambitious and creative… relentlessly entertaining'
‘The political message is unusual. Rather than inciting dismay at the injustices of the world, The Beginner’s Guide exposes the apathy which plagues Western society… [reminding] us that in order for change to happen one must commit wholeheartedly to the cause.'
