There’s no one quite like Wendy Houstoun. At 64, she’s not ready to retire, but she warns us that her latest show, Watch It!, part of the Undisciplined dance festival in Brighton, may be her last. Why? Because she doesn’t trust her mouth not to say something that will offend someone and get the plug pulled.
“Offensive” is not the word you’d usually use to describe Houstoun. “Silly” certainly is. And in the midst of that silliness there’s pathos, protest and bemused observation. “Maverick” is another word that follows Houstoun around (although she doesn’t care for it), a shorthand for independence and idiosyncrasy.
