Sheer Height Theatre's WOMEN REDRESSED Festival Will Play Park Theatre
By: Nicole Rosky
Following sell-out successes at Arcola Theatre in March and The Arts Theatre in November 2015, feminist theatre company Sheer Height are back with their hit theatre festival, Women Redressed.
Running for two nights at the acclaimed Park Theatre, the festival will showcase short plays by some of the UK's up and coming playwrights, as well as extracts from published plays by celebrated writers Vicky Jones and Nancy Harris.
Recognising that stories from the female perspective are all too infrequently brought to life, Women Redressed presents theatre that plants female characters centre stage and probes our perceptions and expectations of gender.
Sheer Height Theatre is an emerging feminist theatre company, 'at the centre of a trend for female-centred new drama' (Everything Theatre), founded by two trained actors in response to the consistent lack of well-rounded, challenging female roles on stage and screen, and with the desire to challenge perceived notions of gender.
