We are always striving to put female voices centre-stage, whether that's as the playwright, the director or the majority of the artists.
Sometimes, we even go for the full team.

Meet Me at DawnTwo women wash up on a distant shore following a boating accident. Dazed by their experience, they look for a path home. But they discover that this unfamiliar land is not what it seems – and that, though they may be together, they have never been further apart.
From multi-award winning writer Zinnie Harris (How To Hold Your Breath, Royal Court; Further than the Furthest Thing, National Theatre), Meet Me at Dawn is a modern fable exploring the triumph of everyday love, the mystery of grief, and the temptation to become lost in a fantasy future that will never be. Directed by Ellie Rose Starring Helen O'Hara & Susan Jayne Robinson |

In collaboration with Girl Gang Manchester & Unseemly Women - HER Productions are so proud to produce the third consecutive all female Shakespeare at Hope Mill Theatre.
A simple marriage between Theseus, the Duke of Athens and Hippolyta (the former queen of the Amazons). Except for the adventures of four young Athenian lovers who get lost in the forrest...and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit it. Dates TBC in keeping with Covid-19 guidelines. |
Lucy Kirkwood's NSFW is a comedy satirising media attitudes to sexuality and personal privacy. It was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs on 25 October 2012.
The first part of the play is set in the editorial offices of Doghouse, a fictional lads mag that, amongst other things, runs photographs of topless women. It has just proudly unveiled the winner of its Local Lovely 2012 competition, sent in by a reader; but the buxom Carrie, 18, turns out to be only 14 years old, and her father is taking legal action. In an attempt to save the magazine (and his own career), Aidan, the editor of the magazine, sacks the well-meaning junior, Sam, who sanctioned the use of the shots. But Carrie's irate father is not so easily mollified... |
