London on 10 - 11 Nov - Various
The year is 1913 and women are rising up... "They just see me as a ready made poster girl. If woman can fly a machine, she can cast a vote!" Amidst the flock of pioneers fighting to rule the skies, Winifred Baxter is determined to become the first Englishwoman to enter an air race, learning to fly amidst the chaos of the suffragette movement, a glorious garden party and far too much nephology: the study of clouds. Winner of the Oldham Coliseum Pick of the Fringe award, Clouds is the second play by new, young writer, Laura Crow, combining the suffocating society of pre-war Britain with a touch of comedy, early feminism, and pure vintage flair! Clouds will make its London premiere at the Kings Head Theatre following on from a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. ★★★★ Theatre Weekly - 'Clouds will truly keep you coming back time and again.' ★★★★ Feminist Fringe - I left the performance feeling inspired.' ★★★★ Edinburgh Guide - A wonderfully atmospheric play, Clouds is an interesting snapshot and reminder of the battles that women fought, indeed are still fighting, in having a fair and equal world. ★★★★ Ed Fringe Review - 'Clouds is a charming, important and engaging play [...] an immersive, delightful experience, with clever writing and fine acting, creating a powerful piece of theatre.' ★★★★ North West End - 'Roaringly successful.'
