CALM DOWN, DEAR: A Festival of Feminsim
A three week festival of theatre and performance, cabaret, comedy, short films and lively discussion about feminism: what it meant then, what it means now, and why it’s resurgent.
There’ll be brand new shows, special commissions, input frm leading feminist thinkers and provocateurs, and a critical eye turned on gender inequality, the sexualisation of society, everyday sexism, and much more.
The last thing it’ll make you do, dears, is calm down.
