An Audience with Virginia Woolf
Writing One's Mind
1931, first-wave feminist Virginia Woolf delivers a speech to the Society for Women’s Service where she advocates killing ‘The Angel’ that guards the conventions binding women writers. Now reimagined, Woolf’s withering critique of the power of patriarchy still cuts through with shocking relevance.
A brand new show
Details coming soon!

- Kathleen Ferrier Whattalife! Tells the story of the great English contralto from her debut as a singer in 1940, through her meteoric rise, to her tragic death in 1953. The text is taken from her letters and diaries interwoven with music from her repertoire. Just like Kathleen during her short but full life, the show has a great sense of fun and talks straight from the heart.
★ ★ ★ ★ “Lucy Stevens as Ferrier, capturing the singer’s radiant personality most winningly…always at home in the Ferrier songbook, the warmth in her own voice, matching to a large degree Ferrier’s own contralto, causes a frisson in the audience.” – Adrian Edwards Musical Theatre Review

Gertrude Lawrence

A lovely way to spend an evening

The 1930’s star of musical comedy tells her own story in her own words. Funny, pacy dialogue which is bursting with songs from Variety and Review to Noël Coward and Kurt Weill.

"Top class entertainment!”
“A quality show!”
“The audience was enthralled!”

- Ethel Smyth: Grasp the Nettle This is the story of Ethel Smyth, composer, writer and activist, and her personal conflicts, triumphs and relationships – told in her own words and compositions, in a flowing fusion of drama and music. She was the first woman composer to be performed at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and is now acclaimed as “the missing link” between Purcell and Britten.
“An amazing and important story presented up close and personal by the immensely talented dramatist and contralto Lucy Stevens. This will make your soul sing.” – Rob Webb, founder Quietrevolution
