Description

---

You are expected to behave...
Use the right words
Act appropriately
Don't break the rules
Just behave.

This play is not well behaved.

Alice Birch examines the language, behaviour and forces that shape women in the 21st century and asks what's stopping us from doing something truly radical to change them.

Winner of the George Devine Award for Most Promising New Playwright 2014.
