ORAL is a show about mouths. What goes into them. What comes out of them. And what they are actually for. Based on her lived experience, Viv Gordon and company sink their teeth into childhood sexual abuse, dentistry and crocodiles. 
​
ORAL is a rebellious gobby kind of show about rising up and biting back. ​A jaw dropping call to arms.
