Description
"A relatable and passionate production" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Northern Arts Review
_____
“You’re one of these ballbreakers. You’ll end up miserable and lonely. You’re not natural”
Thatcher’s Britain in the early 1980s, and high-flying businesswoman Marlene has been promoted to Managing Director.
To celebrate she is throwing a dinner party, the fantastical guest list featuring women from history and fiction.
Here in the real world, what must Marlene do to succeed in her new role, and what does that mean for who she was and the people she has left behind?
This ground-breaking classic of British theatre highlights the sacrifices women have made, and continue to make, to carve out a place for themselves.
Hilarious, moving and provocative, it masterfully explores what it takes to be a woman in a man’s world, and the cost of getting to the top.
