Hole

A hole in the ground. Three women are forcing their way out.

They’re singing. They’re moving. They’re taking up space. And they refuse to apologise.

Using word, music and movement in equal parts, Royal Court Young Writers’ Programme alumna Ellie Kendrick’s debut play Hole asks how power is created. It has a cast of six women, who perform as individuals, but also move together and speak in chorus.

They sing, chant, sprout black wings, retell the stories of Pandora and Medusa and, in one particularly effective passage questioning the male gaze, remind us that elementary particles don’t like being watched. (The Guardian)
