Britain's What's On Event Guide
What (is) a Woman
A new solo musical play with an illuminating script, nine original songs and stunning underscore, What (is) a Woman is a one woman show of astounding inventiveness, where one actress plays all the men. What (is) A Woman is the remarkable new production from critically acclaimed TV and West End actress, Andrée Bernard (Poirot, ITV; Hollyoaks, Channel 4; Only Fools and Horses, BBC One).
An early workshop of What (is) a Woman was described by renowned writer and director Steven Berkoff as a wry, sharply observed, and comic view of modern woman. Not for the faint hearted.
What (is) a Woman is set over four decades and tells one woman's story of love, sex, lies, and laughter. It touches on themes of identity, femininity, and gender dynamics in a heartfelt and often humorous way. The entire piece is written by Bernard and is the culmination of her years as an exemplary theatre practitioner (Hair, The Old Vic; Kiss Me Kate, The Old Vic and The Savoy Theatre; 6 Actors in Search of a Director, Charing Cross Theatre).
