Angebote / Angebote:

With an overview of the development of Feminist Theatre from the 1970s in the UK and Ireland until today, this book celebrates the creativity and flair of women working in theatre to make their voices heard, have their work produced professionally, and promote social justice. Here, the pioneers and leading lights of the newly energised feminist theatre movement continue to fight for an equitable, diverse and inclusive theatre which speaks for all. In 20+ essays and interviews this book gives important insight into the lived experience of women working in theatre and what it takes to rise in an industry where race, class and parenthood can be serious obstacles to success.Interviews and essays by playwrights, directors, producers and actors including: Asian Women's Theatre in Britain: A Playwright's Tale by Rukhsana AhmadDerby Theatre by Sarah BrighamInterview with Moira BuffiniIntersectional Feminism at Work - Equity Women's Committee by Kelly Burke The Personal was very Political by Clair ChapwellBehind The Lines by Alison ChildInterview with April de AngelisInterview with Suzanne GormanClean Break by Anna HerrmannInterview with Hannah Khalil The Women in Theatre Lab by Polly Kemp and Jennifer TuckettPersistence, Expression and Evolution by Peta LilyInterview with Roberta LivingstonMeat Cute by Bibi LucilleThe Third World of Irish Women by Jaki McCarrickMonstrous Regiment by Mary McCuskerOpen Clasp Theatre by Catrina McHughInterview with Ann MitchellInterview with Rebecca MordanInterview with Amy NgUntold Stories by Maeve O'NeillGirls' Night Out by Rachel O'Regan Interview with Kaite O'ReillySphinx by Sue Parrish and Susan McGounInterview with Julia PascalOut of the Attic - WTW by Cheryl Robson and Anna BirchScylla's Bite by Rebekah Smith and Abbie LoweInterview with Dame Rosemary SquireWomen in their own Words by Lucy Stevens Stella Quines & After by Gerda StevensonDifferences Matter by SuAndiTheatre from a Lesbian Perspective by Clare Summerskill
