The Plays
Cochon Flambe by Eva Lewin: Explores the sexual politics of waitressing in a comic, one-woman play.

Crux by April De Angelis: Four women who follow their own doctrine of pleasure and hedonism in opposition to the stifling dictates of the Church.

Cut It Out by Jan Rupee: A sharp blend of humour and pathos, tells the story of Laura, a self-lacerator.

Ithaka by Nina Rapi: Theatrically inventive, often surreal, witty and funny... sensitive charting of a woman's quest for love and freedom. Bush Theatre

Forced Out by Jean Abbott: A lesbian teacher's confrontation with her community's prejudices, unleashed by a newspaper's gay witch hunt.

Fail/Safe by Ayshe Raif: ...a most disturbing lament for the way that some family ties become chains from which there will never be escape... The Guardian

The Taking Of Liberty by Cheryl Robson: France: 13th century. Heresy, blood and burnings. The Doctrine of the Free Spirit celebrates pleasure, passion and freedom from guilt. A corrupt and hypocritical Pope crushes the women who live this outrage. We are born. We are. Our flesh is beautiful, more beautiful than cake or the stars. - ...the French Revolution: a women's protest...escalates into savage retribution. What's On
