Calm Down, Dear: A Festival of Feminism - A Bic for Her

Details

A festival of theatre and performance, cabaret, comedy, short films and lively discussion about feminism: what it meant then, what it means now, and why it's resurgent. There will be brand new shows, special commissions, input from leading feminist thinkers and provocateurs, and a critical eye turned on gender inequality, the sexualisation of society, everyday sexism, and much more. The last thing it'll make you do, dears, is calm down. CPT are very proud to present Bridget Christie's critically acclaimed smash hit show A Bic For Her. Fresh from winning the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award 2013, Bridget is performing at CPT for one night only! Why does Bic think women need special biros to write with? Who decided Thatcher and Beyonce were feminist icons? What did Sir Stirling Moss say about women's brains? This show includes some shouting. (The only stand-up to have been billed alongside both Lionel Blair and Naomi Wolf.)
