ABSTRACT
Alex Dallas, Alison Field, and Wendy Vousden moved to Canada in 1989, having formed the comedy trio Sensible Footwear in London, England in 1982. Popular on the Canadian fringe theatre festival circuit, the three have written approximately eleven shows and have appeared at established Canadian playhouses and on national radio and television. Elegant and sophisticated in their performance style, they nevertheless shock audiences as they “lift the veil on their innermost desires, their guiltiest secrets and all the thoughts and feelings that nice girls keep hidden”—to quote the promotional flyer for their show entitled Close to the Bone from the early 1990s.
