Details

An exploration of the oldest profession in the world through the lives of courtesans, happy hookers, sex workers and cross-dressing rent 'boys' in Edwardian London. A post-modern history of 'bad girls', In Praise of Fallen Women explores a new aesthetic in live performance - bilingual theatre, incorporating spoken and projected text with theatricalised British Sign Language, creating a visceral, visual and inclusive style. Provocative and intelligent, seductive but never sleazy, the work is alternatively humorous, poignant, innovative and irreverent.
