Join the ONCOMM nominated Women’s Writes for three bold short plays written by female playwrights. Named “Empowering” by DIVA Magazine “Politically and socially imperative” by London Theatre Reviews and “redressing the balance” by The Stage Newspaper, this next line up is not to be missed.
Women’s Writes returns with three new plays featuring real, fallible, complex, intelligent, brave women and none of those boring archetypal forms. Featuring new work by Emma Zadow (Writer ‘Jigging’ BBC short film & ‘FRIDGE’ Hope Theatre), Beth May (Playwright, ‘Dungeons and Daddies’ Podcast host & AudioVerse Award Winner for New Improvised Production) and Alex Critoph (Playwright; ‘SKY’ Theatre 503 & Theatre Centre and ‘WASHED’ Brighton Fringe Fest)
Previous writers have explored a range of themes such as the side effects of the contraceptive pill, the experiences of a Tawaif during the Indian War of Independence and female body image.
