Bebe Cave: Swoon

Bebe Cave takes down the very silly men in the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Award-winning character comedian Bebe Cave explores historical female main character syndrome. This time it’s the Victorian era, where men wear top hats and waistcoats and ladies don’t have the vote yet. Through the lens of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, some very silly men who were very good at painting, and their most famous muses, Bebe skewers pretentious male artistry and the women they love to drown in “a uniquely gleeful, centuries spanning romp”. Why are women such beautiful artistic objects, especially when they’re dead, and why are the men who paint them so difficult and very much alive?
