AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A virtuoso one-woman theatre piece full of humour, heart and wit.

'Evelyn Krape explodes onto the stage in a highly physical, comic and utterly engaging performance. With director Lois Ellis, she revisits the characters from her headline-making 1980s play Female Parts, now thirty years on.

'Comprising three monologues, More Female Parts celebrates women of all ages with ardour and invention, exploring issues from the perspective of a “mature” woman and her barely recognised place in the community.

'With great physical skill, Evelyn allows the audience to experience the sexism and inequality that still exists for all women today, in a comic and dramatic tour de force. Bold characters confront divorce, the glass ceiling, and control within a relationship, in a hilarious and highly theatrical style.

'Written by Sara Hardy especially for Evelyn Krape's unique talents, this is a must-see performance.' (Production summary)
