Our IWD event on the 8th March at the Fusion Digital Gallery in Norwich is double launch of our anthology Words And Women: Two, published by Unthank Books, and also the texts which we commissioned for ‘About’, our project on women and place supported by Arts Council England.
We have four fabulous actresses performing extracts
from the ‘About’ texts, and they have been rehearsing hard with our ‘About’ director and mentor Adina Levay over the past few weeks. They are:
Rosalind Burt who graduated with First Class Honours in Drama And
Theatre Studies, specialising in Performance, at Middlesex University. She’s
appeared as Joanna in The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd, Beatrice Carbone in A
View From The Bridge, Åse in Peer Gynt, and The Laundress in Steven Berkoff's The Trial. Rosalind will perform an extract from Tess Little’s
script Counting The Pennies which is
about a young prostitute incarcerated in Norwich’s lunatic asylum in 1880. 
Kate Cox's theatre credits include Chris Bevans in Rumours, Sue Bayliss
in All My Sons, Ada in New Electric Ballroom, Maudie
Miller in Flare Path, Hecuba in The Trojan Women, and Herr Huld
in The Trial. Kate is performing a condensed version of Jenny
Ayres’ script Trouble And Strife, which features Station
Mistress Appleton and her fight for a company coat during World War Two.
Etta Geras’ roles have included Death in Everyman , Katty in Friel’s London Vertigo, and Alonso in a
female version of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’. She’s a member of Total Ensemble, an inclusive drama company
which devises a play through physical
performance. Etta will perform an extract from Thea Smiley’s script Holding
Stones which is the narrative of
a widow walking The Bungay Straight on a pilgrimage of grief.
Hetty Rance has worked
with Chalk Circle Theatre Company, The Hostry Festival and in children's
theatre with Belona Greenwood's original plays, most recently The Snow Child .
Hetty is performing an extract From Lilie Ferrari’s script Shaddup,
which focuses on Jane Sellars who was hung in Norwich for stealing items to the
value of twelve shillings in 1631.
