Since 1660 when actresses first began performing on the English stage, women have forged bright careers in theatre, while men called the shots. Four hundred years of women playwrights, from Aphra Behn to Caryl Churchill, yet plays by women make up less than a quarter of staged productions in the UK, leading to a scarcity of roles for women. With women buying most of the tickets, theatre productions risk losing their relevance to modern culture if they fail to represent the many and varied lives of women. With an overview of post-war theatre and 25 exclusive interviews with leading women theatre-makers, this book inspires us to create a truly equal and inclusive theatre today. Including interviews with: Nina Lee Aquino
Sudha Buchar
Moira Buffini
Paule Constable
Denise Gough
Jill Greenhalgh
Vicky Ireland
Jude Kelly
Bryony Lavery
Rachel Maza
Kumiko Mendl
Katie Mitchell
Marsha Norman
Lynn Nottage
Kate O'Donnell
Winsome Pinnock
Emma Rice
