The theme of the show: casual sexism and sexual harassment, is a systemic social issue that almost everyone who is female identifying can associate with on some level. We recognise that it’s not a new issue, but if “6.5 million women in England and Wales have been raped or sexually assaulted since the age of 16” (1), More than 1 in 4 women have been raped or sexually assaulted as an adult” (2) and “How many women are raped or sexually assaulted every year? 798,000. That’s 1 in 30 women” (3) it’s clear that it’s an issue that affects far too many female identifying people, and that is still a contemporary concern with huge social impact.

To ensure that we're making a relevant and socially considered show, safeguarding audiences and creating space that encourages people to reflect, comment and advocate for change we want to involve female identifying people in the rehearsal and creative process.

What does this mean?

- we'd like to have discussions with you about sexual harassment, share lived experiences and understand your perspectives.

- tell you about the show, explain the story and the characters, and listen to your feedback 

- invite you into the studio to see live rehearsals, seeing first hand how we work and what we can do to make the show better.

- invite you to watch the premiere of the tour at Seven Arts Leeds.

- brainstorm how we can create a safe space for audiences, before, during and after the show
