The Lab
Mary Ann Girling isn’t your everyday Victorian housewife, she’s a booze-hocking, hat-making sinner… that is, until a fabulous man in an impressive pair of wings makes an appearance in her bedroom… a man by the name of… GOD!
Join Run Like Stags, this year’s TRP Lab Company, to explore a forgotten piece of British feminist history – the tale of a working-class lass with a ‘winning voice’ and holy management, whose quest to save society from the oncoming apocalypse led to all sorts of cult-y business…
This rebellious, melodious play begs the big questions: What is the price of martyrdom? Can feminism and religion ever go hand in hand? … Is it really OK to wear a hat indoors?
The Lab Company is Theatre Royal Plymouth’s premier training and development program for early career artists living and working in the region. This exciting new show marks the culmination of a year-long residency spent at the theatre.
