A fantastic, feminist reimagining of comedy duo Morecambe and Wise’s iconic 1976 Breakfast Sketch.
The sketch – set to the famous striptease tune – includes a series of humorous kitchen puns, playing on society’s various complex female roles. Like Morecambe and Wise, Maple and Mosley take the mundane breakfast ritual and heighten it through physical comedy. Their work is captured in a film and a series of photographs for this brand-new exhibition, premiering in Crawley.
Sarah Maple and Meg Mosley have just hit milestones. Meg has turned 40 as a single woman and Maple has just become a mother. In Breakfast Scene, they reflect on how they are now viewed by mainstream western culture – an in-between stage of no longer being considered young, but not yet middle aged. In this new body of work, they aim to explore this transitional period for women which is not often discussed.
