Details

A festival of theatre and performance, cabaret, comedy, short films and lively discussion about feminism: what it meant then, what it means now, and why it's resurgent. There will be brand new shows, special commissions, input from leading feminist thinkers and provocateurs, and a critical eye turned on gender inequality, the sexualisation of society, everyday sexism, and much more. The last thing it'll make you do, dears, is calm down. Fanny's got a story to tell. But she can't seem to find the right words. Luckily John is here and, with the audience's help, he is going to tell it just right. With karaoke, high heels and a whole lot of sanitiser, TheatreState get to grips with accepted expressions of female sexuality. As pop culture and John Cleland's 18th-century porno Fanny Hill collide, TheatreState ask how far we've really come. Age 12+
