Let's talk about radical theatre. Citizens Theatre presents, a Stef Smith play (after Henrik Ibsen), directed by Elizabeth Freestone. With Tim Barrow, Michael Dylan, Maryam Hamidi, Anna Russell-Martin, Molly Vevers and Daniel Ward. http://go.otwp.uk/s01e03-nora-a-doll-s-house https://www.citz.co.uk/whatson/info/nora-a-dolls-house The Citizens Theatre has announced that the critically acclaimed Nora: A Doll’s House, written by Stef Smith, will be staged at the Young Vic in Spring 2020.Premiered at Tramway, Glasgow in March 2019 as part of the Citizens Theatre’s Citizens Women season, this will be a new co-production between the Citizens Theatre and the Young Vic. https://www.youngvic.org/nora-a-dolls-house All thoughts and opinions expressed on this show are solely those of the individual expressing them at the time of recording, and do not necessarily reflect the official position of The Good, the Bad and the Just Plain Standard, Milk In A Wineglass & Hicks Entertainment.

"‘You've lies in the whites of your eyes, Nora. What have you done…?'  Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything. Ibsen's brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new production by one of Scotland's most exciting playwrights reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women's suffrage, the swinging sixties and modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks how far have we really come in the past 100 years? " This show transferred to the Young Vic in February 2020. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onthewoodenpath/message

In this week's Don't Speak we cover our experiences at Queen Margaret University Edinburgh, Stef’s work so far and to come - namely Ibsen’s A Doll’s House which is coming to the Citz Theatre Glasgow this year. Also covered with increasing speed (as the two chatterers had a very strong coffee to kick off): wine in theatre and women’s relationship with the hallowed drink, Nora, Cher, Bandersnatch, cats, OITNB, writing processes, aquariums, Love Actually ‘stupid wonderful film’ - social media, Red Dead Redemption as an iconic cultural experience, and the two women's friendship.
