Vignettes

HER Productions is proud to produce a range of work, both from established texts and new writing.

The only thing they have in common, is a female voice at the core.

HER Productions, in association with Hope Mill Theatre, are proud to present: VIGNETTES.

An annual evening of six-short plays by established and emerging female-identifying Manchester-based playwrights.

The pieces are original work, commissioned by HER, premiering at Hope Mill Theatre. Led by writer & facilitator Alexandra Keelan, our six writers will meet in regular workshops to create work around a common theme, creating a safe workspace for female creatives to test ideas, give feedback and support each other's process.
