Incarcerating Eve

Incarcerating Eve explores the impacts of female incarceration & disempowerment upon society throughout history to the present day.

Through our unique brand of theatricality, humour, innovative staging, compelling characters and powerful epic storytelling, we tell the story of Eve as Everywoman… Accused, suppressed, abused, silenced, but now rising, waking up to her full power as creator, nurturer, wisdom-keeper – Eve is exactly what the world needs right now.

Through 2000 years of Patriarchy, women have been imprisoned, tortured, and executed. Found guilty of witchcraft, hysteria, insanity, or the ‘impurity’ of childbirth, women have been locked up simply for the crime of being women. And right now, across the world, women’s freedoms - in body, mind and spirit - are taking a disturbing lurch backwards. With the election of convicted sex offenders to world power, the rollback of abortion rights in the US, the horrific regime in Afghanistan, forced child marriage, the incel movement and the alarming rise of domestic abuse during Covid, there is a pressing need to stand up and challenge these trends.
