Blue pears 

Madeleine co-founded Blue Pears Productions, a theatre company dedicated to bold, darkly comic new writing. They make work that balances laughter with bite, exploring sharp, messy, and deeply human stories.

Productions

Drop Dead (2023–24)

A five-star, sell-out dark comedy that premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe and transferred to the Drayton Arms Theatre, London. Co-created, produced, and performed by me, the show was praised for its wit, pace, and originality.

Fighting Weight (2025)

Madeleine’s new one-woman comedy-drama about boxing, bingeing and the brutal ways women are told to shrink. Set in the hyper-masculine world of the ring, it wrestles with the double bind of being strong but palatable, powerful but pretty. Can women ever feell like they are enough?
