Set in Tudor Essex, across the summer of 1536, Anna, Mariella, and Jane fight over gossip, marriage offers and how bad Jane’s hair is. When the news from London of the Queen’s arrest at the hands of her husband reaches them, they all begin to wrestle with what it means to survive in a society that keeps changing the definition of what a good woman is and the friendship splinters apart.

This is a one-night-only special play reading of the winner of the Prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, the oldest and largest international award for Women+ playwrights.
