Shamira Turner and Eugénie Pastor, the actor-musicians behind She Goat, will debut their new show Iron Fantasy at Soho Theatre this March.
Described as a search for female strength and inspired by 1990s TV fantasy shows and medieval aesthetics, it follows two confrontation-avoidant gentle beings on a quest to pump iron, strap on
armour and finally learn how to fight back.
Featuring live flute, autoharp, singing, electronic beats and eating raw egg on stage, the show blends gym anthems with medieval music, fantasy training montages with autobiographical reflection.
Within the show, Turner and Pastor move between clownish, cartoon versions of themselves and moments of striking honesty. Wearing armour fashioned from kitchen utensils and shoelaces, they attempt training regimes, side-quests and fight moves, never pretending to be experts, but instead inviting the audience into the vulnerability and comedy of trying.
Iron Fantasy plays Soho Theatre from March 10-21, 2026. Tickets here.
