An exciting project in which nine established female playwrights grapple with the complexities of women and politics in Britain's past. Includes Rebecca Lenkiewicz's The Lioness, about Elizabeth I and marriage; Marie Jones' The Milliner and the Weaver, about suffragettes in Ireland; Moira Buffini's Handbagged, in which Margaret Thatcher meets the queen; and Lucy Kirkwood's Bloody Wimmin, about nuclear weapons protest "and all that."
