A work-in-progress reading of

MAIDEN SPEECHES

By Hannah Davies

Somewhere in a small Northern town a woman walks into her constituency office and asks for help. Meanwhile, in Westminster a woman prepares to stand up and address the House…

Maiden Speeches is inspired by the challenges facing outspoken women everywhere. A new play about being bold, speaking out and not giving up. Co-created by Hannah Davies and Barbara Marten (People, Places & Things National Theatre, West End, St. Ann’s Warehouse) and directed by Eleanor Rhode (Boudica Globe Theatre).

There will be a post-show discussion and debate by DebateMate following the reading.
