Burn Her, She's a Witch! - Women in Theatre

June 22, 2020 • Season 1 • Episode 4

****TRIGGER WARNING - Mentions of Rape, Sexual Assault, Suicide, & Poverty/Refugees****

"Burn her, she's a Witch!" These women are so inspiring, the only explanation is magic! In this episode, Georgia Evans and guest host Jen Lepore chat with Deepmala Tiwari, Derya Agaoglu, and Sian Ní Mhuirí. Hailing from India, Turkey, and Ireland, these women bring their diverse perspectives on the necessity of intersectionality when it comes to women in theatre and the struggle of being called "unessential" in a time when human connection is needed more than ever. Listen along as we kick white feminism to the curb, discussing how we get audiences to the theatre in a world that has become inaccessible.
