• New Store Stock

'Wow. Here's a drama that channels all the righteous anger of the moment, the pent-up fury that women have found themselves at last allowed to express' Evening Standard I want the world to change shape.' 'I'm not sure theatre can do that.' 'Well then where am I supposed to take that impulse because I'm very serious about the endeavour?' A young writer challenges the staus quo but discovers that creative gain comes at a personal cost. Ella Hickson's new play received its world premiere at London's Almeida Theatre in 2018.
