PERCEPTION FESTIVAL 2019

Nasty Women

Muses and assassins. Mothers and punks. Radical feminists and the ‘perfect’ wife.

Perception 2019 is a striking collage of theatre and performance, shaped by an all-female mix of uncompromising theatre-makers. They’ll be presenting dynamic pieces of new work all intrepidly investigating our perceived notions of femininity and womanhood.

This October, Nasty Women brings together a rich and riotous range of female voices. For our fifth annual Perception Festival, we invite you to come and celebrate the positive power of being a nasty woman.
