50 WOMEN IN THEATRE Live Panel Discussion Announced

An exclusive live theatre event to celebrate the publication of 50 Women In Theatre at Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare's Globe will be presented on Sunday 3 October 2021 at 6pm.

Five of the book's contributors will join together on stage, for a lively discussion on how to rebuild a new kind of theatre with cultural equity, diversity, and a level playing field for all.

Panellists include Shakespeare's Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry, award-winning playwright Bryony Lavery, founder of Blackstage UK Gabrielle Brooks and Artistic Director of New Earth Theatre Kumiko Mendl - chaired by Dr Susan Croft (Unfinished Histories.)

50 Women In Theatre is published by Supernova Books. A vibrant look through the eyes' of women celebrating early female pioneers and legends through to the rule breakers. In a wonderful selection of women's creative practice both front and back stage, the book features 25 legends of post-war theatre in the English-speaking world and interviews with 25 extraordinary women working in theatre today. With an overview of the history of women in theatre, for the first time, literally 100s of other important ground-breaking women theatre-makers are acknowledged for their contributions. 50 Women In Theatre recognises the current challenges for the theatre industry, brought to its knees by the pandemic, with the loss of hundreds of freelancers to other jobs.
