Snatches: Moments From Women’s Lives

Former National Theatre of Scotland artistic director Vicky Featherstone, now at the Royal Court, curates eight ambitious and challenging monologues, written and performed by women.

The 15-minute monologues are inspired by women who have spoken out, challenged the status quo or made a stand – often at great personal cost. The strong unmediated women’s voices capture moments ranging from the pressure of the casting couch to rape in marriage, from the passion of Reclaim The Night marches to a 100th birthday party. The eight films are written by some of the UK’S most exciting female writers including Abi Morgan, Zinnie Harris, Tanika Gupta, EV Crowe, Theresa Ikoko, Charlene James and Rachel De-lahay. The cast includes Shirley Henderson, Kiran Sonia Sawar, Jodie Comer and Romola Garai, who stars in the first film Compliance.
