Words Without Consent
Production shot by Lidia Crisafulli
Drawn from the speeches of prominent figures and the interviews collected by Ellen Patterson and Katie Rice, Words Without Consent is a verbatim piece that juxtaposes absurd political rhetoric with the complex experience of being female in today’s world. Exposing a series of uncomfortable parallels, the play offers a new take on how the personal is the political.
“Marlie has brought energy, vigour and transformative ideas to the process. Her vision for the piece has lifted it from rehearsal to stage. Marlie worked with us across every aspect, from unique and inspirational transition ideas, to character development using Laban technique, as well as more ways to integrate multimedia, to name but a few!”
