Consisting of six fifteen-minute shorts, each piece of writing must pass the Bechdel Test - they must include at least two named female characters who, at some stage, talk to each other about something other than a man. Inspired by Alison Bechdel's now famous 1987 comic strip, The Rules, the Bechdel Test has become the benchmark for gauging fair representation on stage and screen. The Launch features work by both established and emerging playwrights and directors invited by the curators to kick off this inaugural event. Whoop 'n' Wail have committed to achieving gender equality on the UK stage by creating a night of entertaining and engaging theatre. Represents... is both timely and of paramount importance while equal representation is at forefront of the industry's consciousness.
