2020 looks a little bit like...
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. 2020 is our first year and we hope you enjoy the season ahead...

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. This year - the hilarious & beautiful A Midsummer Nights Dream.
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. One of Shakespeare's most loved plays comes to Ancoats this July....

August
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...
