About the show
‘I don’t want to be this woman’
Julie Robson is used to being overlooked. At work, at home, everywhere in between.
But when an encounter on a station platform goes wrong and all eyes are suddenly on Julie, something shifts within her and she feels compelled to make a stand.
What happens when an ordinary woman pits herself against the forces that shape the world? What happens when she refuses to be quiet?
Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters) is Julie in this provocative new play from Helen Edmundson (Small Island), directed by Blanche McIntyre (Tartuffe).
