As a child, Dan lost a holiday camp dancing competition. This is his chance to right that wrong. It will be what he would have done had he known better, been a little braver, got the music choice he wanted. VENUS will be an opportunity for us all to win, if only for the duration of one song by an 80’s girl group.

​"This lo-fi one-man show is more about the chat than the dance: Watson is great company, full of nervous energy and good humour as he dives back into his Pontins memories [...]  It’s the most winning thing I’ve experienced in a theatre for ages."
