Bring your lunch and grab a cuppa to join Dreadnought South West’s Co-Director’s Josie Sutcliffe and Natalie McGrath, and Alison Comley from Theatre West, for a lunchtime In Conversation about making and producing new plays written by women, the challenges involved, and their experiences. Dreadnought South West are an arts and heritage charity based in Exeter. They celebrate previously untold told stories about the courage and activism of women and non-binary people. They began in 2013 with Oxygen, a new play that told the story of the Great 1913 Women’s Suffrage Pilgrimage, touring along the same route that the women walked from Lands End to Hyde Park. Their play The Cause was the first play funded by Arts Council England to forefront women’s stories and led by women through the Strategic Touring fund in 2018. They are also the guardians of The Rebellious Sounds Archive, and producers of Exeter’s Annual International Women’s Day celebration; Occupy the Airwaves, a marathon 16 hour community radio broadcast on Phonic FM.

Northcott Creative Director Martin Berry has spent 26 years coaching people to speak and present with confidence. Using simple, accessible techniques from the theatre world, this enjoyable workshop designed for all skill levels is a great chance to gain confidence in public speaking through discussion, simple exercises and fun.

For these performances, kids are STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED at the panto! Expect the same brilliant show with more adult humour, more swearing and added naughtiness.
