Since 1660, when actresses first began performing on the English stage, women have forged bright careers in theatre, while men called the shots. Four hundred years of women playwrights, from Aphra Behn to Caryl Churchill, yet plays by women make up less than a quarter of staged productions in the UK, leading to a scarcity of roles for women. As theatres face new challenges, how can we rebuild a new kind of theatre with true cultural equity and a level playing field? A wonderful selection of women's creative practice both front and back stage, including both the celebrated and the unacknowledged: Nina Le Aquino, Robyn Archer, Yvonne Brewster, Moira Buffini, Nica Burns, Judi Dench, Sonia Friedman, Denise Gough, Jill Greenhalgh, Thelma Holt, Garry Hynes, Vicky Ireland, Glenda Jackson, Jude Kelly, Bryony Lavery, Joan Littlewood, Gillian Lynne, Rachel Maza, Audra McDonald, Julia Miles, Katie Mitchell, Yvette Nolan, Marsha Norman, Lynn Nottage, Winsome Pinnock, Emma Rice, Chita Rivera, Daryl Roth, Jenny Sealey, Meera Syal, Michelle Terry, V (Eve Ensler) and more...
