Type damn you. Type! It’s the only way to liberty!
1885 – a time of great passions, great confusion. Virtue is barely holding down it’s petticoats. Determined to make women rich ex militant suffragette Mary Barfoot and her devoted protege and lover Rhonda enlist female students to master the new invention that will gain them freedom – the typewriter. Three spinster sisters are invited into the school to rescue them from poverty, setting in motion an odyssey of alcoholism, cross dressing and sexual revolution.
Lyceum drama artist Christine O’Carroll will be leading workshops exploring the issues in the play: gender politics, patriarchy, relationships, historical context and contemporary relevance.
Workshops are free to groups making a booking for the performance.
Please Note: Production is suitable for S6 only.
