About

Who do you envy?

Who is like you but a little bit better?

With a raucous chorus of original songs, award-winning Rachel Mars and four belting female singers bring you a hilarious dark show about the hidden workings of one of our uglier emotions. With music by Louise Mothersole (Sh!t Theatre), Our Carnal Hearts comes to the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts after sell outs across the UK and US.

"Wickedly funny... soothing and sharp-edged at the same time." ****  The Stage 

"not just honest... very funny, too, and streaked with regret" ****  Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

"deeply engaging... beautifully blends together mundane normality and phantasmal spectacle."   *****  Broadway Baby
