NOW PLAYING CAN'T STAND UP FOR FALLING DOWN
By Richard Cameron. Presented by House of Orphans / Unholy Mess.
Set in a small south Yorkshire town in the 1960’s against the backdrop of the women’s liberation movement, the drama unfolds through the interwoven narratives of Lynette, Jodie and Ruby.
The private confidences of these three young women illustrate their experiences as victims of the bullying and abusive Royce and combine to create a powerful image of quiet trauma.
CAN’T STAND UP FOR FALLING DOWN gives a voice to women who feel forced into silence by fear. Directed and performed by all-female creatives, this is an insightful and sensitive production of a deeply affecting play, highlighting and exploring the oppression of women.
"The pace was beautiful throughout, and technical constraints did not detract from the professionalism, the sensitivity, and the impossibly comic rigour of The Unholy Mess's Endgame." - Dr Daniela Caseli
"slickly directed, brilliantly performed, funny in parts, dramatic in others... the audience loved it (The Retreat)" - Mike Heath
"edgy and intriguing…a strong cast and a disturbing story sewn together tightly by the direction (The Retreat)" - Cathy Crabb
DIRECTOR: Lucy Allan PERFORMED BY: Esther Dix, Lucia Cox, Edwina Lea
