Stephen Unwin directs world premiere of new play BLOODY DIFFICULT WOMEN at Riverside Studios

Wind of Change, in association with Cahoots Theatre Company, have announced the world première of Tim Walker’s Bloody Difficult Women, running at Riverside Studios from 24 February-26 March.

The play charts the events behind the court case Gina Miller brought against Theresa May in 2016 and what has ensued. 

Walker's brand-new drama sees the tumultuous political events of recent years played out in a power struggle between two determined women.

His intensely human account of the court case Mrs Miller brought against Mrs May makes for revealing and often very funny theatre, but ultimately it's a tragedy, where there are no winners, only losers.

Walker brings the story bang up to date in a dramatic finale which says so much about the deep divisions we still have in our country.

Tim Walker said today: “There are a lot of people who do not want this play to be staged, and, in all honesty, I couldn’t give a damn. I’m determined to see it go on, no matter what, as it is about so much more than a courtroom showdown between two determined women. It explains how we’ve got ourselves into this bloody awful mess. It is a play that is not so much angry, as incandescent with rage.”

Directed by Stephen Unwin, the production is designed by Nicky Shaw, with lighting by David Howe and sound by John Leonard.
