“I have cut my eyelashes off. I have covered myself in coal and mud. I have bandaged my body up and made myself a collection of straight edges.”

Alice Birch’s provocative and deliberately shaking play tears apart the language, structures, and systems that shape women’s lives – and dares to imagine something radically different.

This bold, funny, and relentlessly inventive play refuses to play by the rules. Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again is performed by our Acting cohort.
