Women are not equally represented in the arts and in business – this ranges from a lack of roles for women over 40 on TV and in theatre, to a glass ceiling for senior roles in business, to unequal pay. Female Arts promote women in interviews, reviews and news to redress this gender imbalance. We're interested in the performing, visual and literary arts with the focus on women including theatre, exhibitions, film, literature, comedy, music, women in business, in the UK and beyond. Read more About Us and please Support Us. If you'd like us to share with our readers what you're involved in please read our Review FAQ's then email your press release to Wendy Thomson editor@femalearts.com.

The Devil & Stepashka, Ye Olde Rose and Crown - Review

Michael Davis's picture
Submitted by Michael Davis on July 21, 2014 - 03:00

“You’re the Devil in disguise.” So said Elvis Presley in his 1963 hit. The blame game in sexual politics has always been prevalent in culture, from the Pandora of the ancient Greeks opening THAT box to Eve eating from the forbidden tree in Eden. With that cultural baggage hanging around, will any legal system truly be unbiased?

How does one bring Shakespeare to an audience that’s had no direct experience previously? Taking inspiration from the travelling actor troupes centuries ago that would go from town to town to stage plays, Groundlings Theatre Company have come across a novel way of addressing this.

Ladybird - theatre review

jadelallen's picture
Submitted by jadelallen on July 17, 2014 - 01:41

Tonight was my second visit to the International Youth Arts Festival in Kingston, following the work of a couple of exciting ladies. Last year, I was lucky enough to review Hattie Thomas and Rebecca Zienko in their realisation of ‘Waiting for Godot’ with their company Short in Comparison. This year, they have joined forces with three other practitioners to create ‘Ladybird’ with their new company, Frying Pan Alley.
