We are a multi award-winning women’s theatre company seen as exemplars in our field with a proven track-record of success since 1998. Our unique approach and practice collaborates with women on the margins of society to create exciting theatre for personal, social and political change.
Our work is directly informed by the lived experiences of the women and young women we work with and rooted in the belief that theatre changes lives. Based in the North East of England we have a national and international reach.
We are committed to working in partnership and sharing good practice, engaging with policy-makers providing vital first-hand research, evaluation and recommendations.

- Ensure the voices of those women are heard by audiences including policy makers
- Make space for discussion, debate and critical conversations
- Promote respect, equality and inclusion
- To reflect the diversity of the North of England
