How like your mother are you? What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done? What has been your favourite age to be and why? What kind of career’s advice did you get as a young woman? Do you have a life’s motto? What are your hopes for any daughters or young women you know?

Six female actors share real stories of six women, each in a different decade of their lives.

UnderConstruction Theatre presents 6 Women, extraordinary stories from ordinary women. Stories of family. Stories about being alone. Stories about hopes and dreams. Moments of doubt; leaps of faith; and the moments. Stories of bravery, courage, & defiance. Stories about what it is like to be a woman and how much age changes one’s perspective.

UnderConstruction Theatre are developing a new piece of theatre about the extraordinariness of ordinary women. We are looking for participants to donate stories about what it is like to be a woman today, what the common experiences are, and how much age changes one’s perspective. The stories will be adapted into a piece of theatre featuring six women, one from each decade of life, from twenties to eighties!

Visit our dedicated project website here for further details.

6 Women is funded by Oxford City Council Culture Fund and the University of Oxford Community Fund.
