From Edinburgh Fringe to London!
Mimi was excited to tell us about he new show on Artspod Chats!
Sit or Kneel
The Other Palace | 21st -27th Oct 2025
by Mimi Nation-Dixon
Sit or Kneel is a sharply observed, darkly funny coming-of-age story about identity, expectation, and finding your place in a world that wasn’t built for you. Margot is in her twenties, accidentally ordained, and leading a parish she doesn’t quite understand, while quietly unravelling behind the scenes.
Set in a village full of unsolicited advice and passive-aggressive casserole drops, Sit or Kneel is an ode to rural British life: its charm, its eccentricities, and the quiet pressure to appear perfectly fine at all times. It’s a play that digs into gender, grief, ambition and the bizarre theatre of everyday life — all with wit, warmth, and emotional bite.
Described as “the perfect amalgamation of Fleabag and The Vicar of Dibley”, this is the breakout debut from Mimi Nation-Dixon. After a sold-out, critically acclaimed Fringe run, it’s back — bigger, bolder, and better than ever.
