Drama Queens of the Georgian Period: A tragic-comic entertainment places centre stage the voices of female theatre-makers whose achievements have been all but erased from mainstream British histories. Via dynamic addresses, prologues and epilogues, originally written and/or spoken by women playwrights, performers and stage managers of the Georgian period, the show grants amusing, surprising and occasionally troubling insight into the uniquely gendered experiences encountered by women in Britain’s historical playhouse, and celebrates the female pioneers who championed woman’s right to public and professional careers.
