Gender, Age and The Stage
Ellen Terry and Nellie Melba in Retreat
Thursday 15 May, 6pm
Why are there so few female theatre directors? Playwrights? Conductors? Why do women in the performing arts become invisible at 40? Can understanding the past help us move towards a fairer future?
Through a professional reading of the new play Singing The Blackbird, followed by an expert panel discussion drawing together creative and scholarly expertise, this event will tackle the historic and current under-representation of older woman artists in acting, writing, composing and directing in the performing arts.
