Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

For me, it will be… but it shouldn’t! Yet To be were meant to bring this show “The Geneva Convention of Human F**ks” last year and had to cancel at the very last minute due to Covid. We were gutted a year ago… so we are completely chuffed we are able to bring the show this time around instead.

Marina, the other half of Yet To Be, has always raved about Bedfringe having performed here loads of times with her old company O&O so I am really excited to have my first taste of it.

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2022 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

Many things. We have got a new show called “Free Will & Other Myths” which is in development at the moment and “Geneva” is just starting to tour. Bedfringe is the second date in a tour that takes in a fair few dates between now and October, with more being booked in all the time. I guess the main thing we have learnt over the last 12 months is that you can never fully predict or plan for everything that life will throw at you and that it is important to remember that things will work out one way or another… because they have to.

Tell us about your show.

“The Geneva Convention of Human F**ks” is a darkly comic and full-on hour exploring themes like Lad Culture, Toxic Masculinity and Sex Tourism. There is a lot of misogyny on stage in the show and it pulls no punches… and it is why having a cast of three amazing women playing the parts of Michael, Liam and Peter is so key to making the show work.

Come see the show to have your perceptions challenged; to see people on stage and not a bunch of character stereotypes; to laugh and groan and reflect.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

You should go and see the lovely folk at Ricochet Theatre and their new show “Agnes”. Not only are they a super bunch but they have also won the “Pick of the Fringe” award before so they are super talented too.

Bedfringe 2021 Interview: The Geneva Convention of Human F**Ks

“I guess we have been too busy to actually realise what we have learnt from this year just yet.”

WHO: Charlie Whitworth: Writer and Director

WHAT: “The Geneva Convention of Human F**ks tells the story of three men as they go on their latest sex tour of Europe. Set just before COVID hits, we follow Michael, Liam and Peter as they describe the various brothels, prostitutes and more obscure sexual offerings that they encounter. In this time they tackle their ethics around various issues such as prostitution, #metoo, sex trafficking and even global warming.

Performed entirely by women performers, the show is a sometimes funny, sometimes groan-inducing exploration of toxic masculinity, sex tourism and the friendship between three men.
Written and Directed by company co-founder Charlie Whitworth, this shows launches Yet To Be with its mission to create original, punchy and entertaining work for audiences.”

Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

This is my first time coming to Bedfringe but it is not the first time for Yet To Be’s co-founder Marina O’Shea. She has brought work here a few times and she is super excited about bringing our show “Geneva” to Bedfringe as she has had such great experiences at the festival in the past. As for me – I’m a complete newbie to the festival!

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2021 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

Well, Yet To Be have been on Exeter Northcott Theatre’s “Futures” programme this year which is an artist development programme. Marina and I are I guess what you would call “mid-career” but Yet To Be as a company is a baby and we want to make sure we get it right. We’ve been busy developing a new show for the Northcott called “Free Will & Other Myths” whilst we’ve been putting the finishing touches on the show we are taking to Bedfringe, Geneva… So I guess we have been too busy to actually realise what we have learnt from this year just yet.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

Well, I’m pretty sure these two shows are actually on BEFORE us but we reckon people should check out the two show by Ricochet Theatre on at Bedfringe called The Same Rain That Falls on Me & Intricate Rituals. Ricochet are lovely and we think you’d be fools to miss their shows.
