In a brand new university production, Very Broken Leg invite you to How to Date a Feminist at the Burton Taylor Studio, 26th-30th November

How to Date a Feminist, written by Samantha Ellis, will open on 26th November at the Burton Taylor Studio and close on 30th November.

It is produced and directed by Ivy Stephens and Robyn Patterson, whose production company, Very Broken Leg, has been created under the umbrella of Oxford University Dramatic Society.

Ivy says of the plot: “He’s a feminist, she loves lipstick and Heathcliff. Featuring two proposals, two weddings, an elopement, and an array of unforgettable characters played by two astounding actors, you will find yourself laughing your socks off one second and wanting to scream and cry at them the next.”

The play consists of two actors, each playing three characters. Esther O’Neill will be playing the roles of Steve, Ross and Joe, whilst Bella Bradshaw will play the roles of Kate, Carina and Morag. Hope Hamilton will cover the roles of Kate, Carina and Morag on Thursday, 28^th November. The lighting is designed by Leon Moorhouse, sound by Izzy Adjei, costumes by Cerys Bennison, and music written by Olivia Hall.

This is a show unlike Oxford has ever seen before, with the set consisting solely of a costume box, a three-act, no-interval structure, and an all-female-presenting cast. Prepare to be amazed by the incredible talent shown by each cast member and each department in our company as we take less than ninety minutes to blow your socks away!

Bella Bradshaw says, “It’s such a unique show that manages to border on hilarious and serious at the same time. I’m so excited and thrilled to be a part of it and present all our work to [our audiences]!”. Co-producer and co-director Ivy Stephens feels that audiences will be “blown away by all of the innovative little tricks we have managed to squeeze into this show, and shocked at the incredible talent of our cast!”.
