Calm Down, Dear: A Festival of Feminism
T0121030684
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.

The GB Project
An epic tale told on an intimate scale inspired by maverick British adventurer Gertrude Bell. The GB Project is a powerful and insightful look at the impact of one woman on the shaping of modern day Iraq. "Simply told, beautifully performed...an important piece of theatre" (Total Theatre) The GB Project fuses fragments of text gathered from diaries, letters and biographies, alongside contemporary voices and speeches to raise questions about history, legacy, loyalty and love. "Craddock's dazzling performance" (Exeunt) created in collaboration with award-winning writer and director Steve Gilroy and musician Richard Dawson is "impossible to forget" (Exeunt).
