Girls Going Solo

For one night only we are presenting an evening of fantastic Women's monologues.

Act 1: The Regina Monologues by Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer. 

“Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived…”
A modernisation of the stories of Henry VIII’s six wives. Admired, vilified, de-humanised. Three Catherines, two Annes and a Jane. Six women with one thing in common – marriage to a man called Henry - have passed into historical legend. Of course, it couldn’t happen these days...

Six modern women have also married one man. Their lives are both separate and intertwined as they tell their stories from a room in which they have all once lived. Their experiences – miscarriage, love affairs, betrayal, and a shared loathing of all things ginger – are portrayed with humour, pathos and a great deal of wine. The plight of those sixteenth century women is personal, poignant and still relevant five hundred years on.
NB: Whilst Regina Monologues balances comedy with drama, it is not suitable for under 16 years as it contains references to sexual abuse, self-harm and miscarriage

Act 2: Comedy monologues and songs from the pens of Willy Russell, Alan Bennett, Victoria Wood and more. 20th April marks 20 years since we lost Victoria, so it is a perfect time to pay tribute to her unique, irreplaceable talent.
