***********
Dark, but playful, melancholy, but hopeful. Through a series of striking vignettes and nameless characters, Revolt taps into the legacies of twentieth-century feminist theatre: the institution of marriage, the bond between mothers and daughters, sisterhood/solidarity, the glass ceiling, the impacts of commodifying and sexualising the female body to satisfy male heterosexual desire, and how we are all impacted by language.
