Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.

She engulfs him.
An employee asks for Mondays off.
A woman denies having children.
Her granddaughter won’t speak.
Four women plan a coup.
There is watermelon all over aisle seven.

Revolutionize, galvanize, invert- this is the call to arms across this series of vignettes that capture the paradoxes of modern womanhood, from the explosive to the mundane. With devastating humour, award-winning playwright Alice Birch deconstructs the oppressive language and behaviours of modern life and challenges the structures that sustain them.

“You are expected to behave…
Use the right words.
Act appropriately
Don’t break the rules.
Just behave.

This play is not well behaved.”
