I just want to sing its praises from the f**cking rooftops

About the show

‘We’ve Got So Much To Talk About’ is a high-octane one-woman theatre gig that takes an unbridled ride through the chaotic world of motherhood and artistry with songs, stories, and a Vegas showgirl thrown in for good measure.

Set in a dream world of backstage tour cases, tangled cables, and hanging microphones. Sally navigates the live wire mess of parenting with captivating vocals, a looping pedal, and her body.

A solo show that touches the jagged edges of early motherhood and the unfinished business of feminism - with honesty, humour, and the beating heart of love and validation. Sally’s latest album ‘Little Triggers’ features the show's music, see here for more.

“A defiant cry, a catharsis, a manifesto, a release.....each personal memory shared onstage gestures to the hopes, fears, and stifling expectations women the world over carry.....possessing a fantastic singing voice, Stockwell ranges from Siouxsie Sioux strength to Grimes otherworldliness...release the soundtrack’’ - Theatre Scenes, Irene Corbett, 2022
