This play is a woman’s dream come true! Everything you want to holler and scream about that core natural organic occurrence sometimes called “the monthlies” is right there on stage.
“Lady M” interweaved women’s attitudes about menstruation with characters and themes from Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
It was outrageously real, humorous, well done, and interactive. Audience members were invited on stage to connect, participate and act out their own personal stories.
It was performed July 9-27 at Joe’s Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier, Maryland, by an ensemble cast comprising members of the Welders Playwrights’ Collective. The play was created and performed by Rachel Hynes, Francesca Chilcote, Anastasia Wilson and Vanita Kalra. Chilcote also leads the Devising Hope intergenerational theater program provided by Street Sense Media and the Educational Theater Company.
A big shout out to Francesca! This play is sure to be an award winning success. You can bet on it!
