About the Show

A box-fresh festival to celebrate International Women’s Day 2010. Running from 8th to 20th March it plays host to a programme of cultural activities based at the New Players Theatre.  The festival has been conceived by the producers of V-Day London 2008 and 2009, and is part of the global V-Day movement to end violence against women and girls in which local artists produce events and performances to raise awareness and funds.

In the last two years the festival has featured innovative re-imaginings of the controversial classic The Vagina Monologues and the new collection A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, by writer, campaigner and V-Day founder Eve Ensler. 

The festival showcases fantastic feminine and feminist talent for an action-packed two weeks, and aims to encourage discussion about all aspects of violence against women, including gender, sexuality, identity, equality and more in a lavish and experimental playground of fancy.


The Funny Women Gala is part of See You Next Tuesday festival
