Lady M

Theatre Jezebel return to the Tron Theatre this spring with an interesting adaptation.
In Lady M, Theatre Jezebel explores the relationship between Shakespeare’s iconic power couple. Lady Macbeth: cold, irreligious, manipulative and demonic or charming, attractive,ambitious and devoted to her husband? The three weird sisters: who are they and what part do they play in the demise of Lady M?

‘ ’Hie thee hither,
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear;
And chastise with the valour of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round,
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem
To have thee crown’d withal.’
Lady M – a passionate, loving wife or avirago – a masculine soul inhabiting a female body?

Age of Arousal

By Linda Griffiths
Directed By Murial Romanes

Tuesday 15th – Saturday 26th March at the Tron Theatre

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.
