Overview
Ten women are telling a story about the Father of Democracy. The Country stands again on the brink of Civil War. A history of violence with tap dancing.
Someone is asking to be hurt. Someone is accused of being a witch. The world is melting. Trapped in a toxic cycle in which members of the group systematically humiliate each other, Sadler attempts to form a resistance, and do something ‘right’. But who knows anymore what that is…
A dark and violent reflection on collaboration and democracy, on the collective and the individual, navigated by 20 women and non-binary people devising together over Zoom and IRL.

COVID-19 Safety Information
Due to UK Government guidance surrounding the ongoing situation with COVID-19, all of Central’s productions are currently being planned, staged, designed, rehearsed, directed and performed as theatrical presentations, filmed for later streaming. This ensures that learning outcomes can be met whilst allowing for a wider distribution to industry partners and the audiences who engage with our work.
Social distancing of two metres is being observed onsite and face coverings are required at all times except for in dress rehearsals, technical rehearsals and final performances as risk assessed; as well as medical exemptions, to facilitate communication (such as lip-reading) and where it may impact on the quality of teaching and learning.
