You are expected to behave… Use the right words. Act appropriately. Don’t break the rules. Just behave. This play is not well behaved. Alice’s play examines the language, behaviour and forces that shape women in the 21st century and asks what’s stopping us from doing something truly radical to change them. Revolt... was first performed at the 2014 Midsummer Mischief Festival, and has also run in Edinburgh and London. Played as part of the Making Mischief Festival 2016. Our first festival of new plays ran during summer 2016 in the reopened The Other Place. What is unsayable in the 21st century? Over the course of these four plays, our writers responded to this challenge with daring explorations of language, race, gender and life in Britain today. We called on people to join us in our intimate new theatre space at The Other Place and confront their own assumptions about what is taboo in the times we live in.
