Greenwich Theatre’s spring season is being themed for the first time to promote and celebrate young female theatre makers.
The season includes work by two of the theatre’s Supported Companies – Lost Watch Theatre Company, transferring their recent Edinburgh Festival hit GOODSTOCK to Greenwich in January (Wed 20 - Sat 23), and Broken Leg Theatre, opening a national tour of the new play THREE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN (Tue 1-Sat 5 Mar).
Broken Leg Theatre’s THREE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN is a new play written by Alice Trueman and Anna Jefferson from thousands of personal stories submitted by women around the UK in a far-reaching online archive project, while GOODSTOCK by Lost Watch co-founder Olivia Hirst and produced by Rianna Dearden is a funny, honest, uplifting show about BRCA1, the genetic mutation made famous by Angelina Jolie and others which leads to a drastically increased chance of breast cancer.
The season also includes performances of Engineer Theatre Collective’s RUN (Tue 8-Sat 12 Mar), produced by Emily Thommes alongside The Human Zoo Theatre Company’s THE GIRL WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MOON (Mon 8 - Thu 11 Feb), led by artistic director Florence O’Mahony.
This year also sees the launch of the RED Women's Theatre Award on Sunday 6 March, with Greenwich Theatre playing host to a showcase of some of the freshest women’s political writing, shortlisted from an open submission process and supported by online creative magazine Female Arts.
