The Making of Bull: The True Story

Stacy Makishi’s solo show, The Making of Bull: The True Story, is inspired by the Coen brothers’ film Fargo.

It’s about what’s real and what’s fake; how we invent and reinvent and find truth along the way. Disorientating and uplifting, it weaves an uncanny path through a kidnap, an unrequited love, a lost ransom and a woman frozen in the snow.

The Making of Bull: The True Story has travelled around the UK and to New York, Amsterdam, Turkey, Slovenia and Vienna. 

“It is theatre, it is bullshit. And I eat it raw because what Stacy Makishi does is very hard to do in performance. You often see folks trying – hard – although it is not easy to get it right. But Stacy Makishi is on the bull’s-eye. And I will bet you dollars to donuts everyone thinks so, I mean, she is a bluestocking and she is obsessed with Steve Buscemi”
