| Background
to the play |
|
| In
November 1985 Terry Hands, Joint Artistic
Director of the RSC, offered the women of
the RSC Stratford Company the opportunity
of finding a piece of work to be incorporated
in the following season. All
the actresses in the Company met and put
forward the names of many writers and
directors, some of whom were subsequently
invited to talk about their work.
One
of the main problems was finding a common
ground, because of the diversity of personalities
within the groups. The decision therefore
was to look for a new play of sufficient
breadth and scope to be written, directed
and designed by women which would serve
a predominantly female cast.
Although
the company of women changed in number
over the intervening months the original
commitment to the project was sustained
and the first of what was hoped to be
many similar ventures was launched with
Heresies. |
