Performed at the Cellar Theatre for Sydney University Dramatic Society
2nd - 12th MARCH 2016
“Lady is part of a larger necessary conversation.”
The Sydney University Dramatic Society Presents: Lady
In a quiet country town, long ago, there lived a girl who wasn’t happy. Lady is stuck, labelled, bored. Washing clothes and leering men, marriage, children, routine – a life her mother accepts, her friend awaits. A life she must escape.
Bathed in blood our heroine drowns, drifts and surfaces, desperate to emerge, rise from the depths of her nothing life and stand on her own feet. She won’t take less than greatness. With magic and lies she’ll get what she wants. If the sacrifices she makes on the way throw nature out of joint Lady only cares that it’s known the chaos was her doing.
Witness the rise of a great woman who did much more than stand behind a great man.
Lady is an original play, workshopped by cast, writer and director to be presented on stage for the first time as the opening show of SUDS' 2016 season.
