Details

The Last Women is a powerful interpretation of the stories of condemned women from a queen convicted of treason to an illiterate ribbon weaver convicted of murder. A performance event contemplating the hour of death. For its twenty-first anniversary production, Triangle's artistic director guides an ensemble of musicians, singers, and performers to take you on the emotional journey at the root of theatre. Contains strong language and some nudity. Combining the carnival of gallows humour, the drunken dizziness of a night club, the ritual of a last supper, and heartbreaking farewells, The Last Women is both intimate and epic. Celebratory and defiant, bold, haunting and beautiful, The Last Women is a daring confrontation with death staged in a specially reconfigured B2, and offers you the choice of joining the women in their cells or witnessing the event from the safety of the crowd.
