By Joanna Murray-Smith   Directed by Julian Smith

Inspired by real-life events, Joanna Murray-Smith’s The Female of the Species is a biting comedy that takes a sharp look at feminist ideals, the complexities of motherhood, and the unpredictability of human relationships. When Margot, a celebrated feminist writer, is held at gunpoint in her own home by a former student, the situation spirals into a hilarious and tense standoff involving her daughter, son-in-law, and an unexpected cab driver. As the characters clash, the play explores the chaos of ideology, family dynamics, and personal responsibility.

This production promises audiences a witty and thought-provoking exploration of modern feminism, delivered with Murray-Smith’s trademark sharp dialogue and dark humour.
