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. Pretty Ugly - After a summer in which trolling and cyber-bulling has hogged the headlines, this electrifying and urgent theatre event, developed on CPT's Starting Blocks scheme, now receives its full premiere. Louise Orwin says: "This show is about you rating me based solely on my looks. It is also about a recent worldwide trend of teenage girls posting videos on YouTube asking viewers to rate their looks, and about my trail of research into the world of the teenage social networker in 2013 to try and understand why."
