Age of Arousal

UK Première Age of Arousal By Linda Griffiths

Wildly inspired by The Odd Women by George Gissing

Directed by Muriel Romanes

A co-production with Stellar Quines Theatre Company

1885- a time of great passion, great confusion. Virtue is barely holding down its petticoats. Women are bursting their corsets with unbridled desire.

Determined to make women rich, ex-militant suffragette Mary Barfoot and her devoted protégé and lover Rhoda enlist female students to master the new invention that will gain them freedom – the typewriter. Three spinster sisters are invited into the school to rescue them from poverty, setting in motion an odyssey of alcoholism, cross dressing and sexual revolution.

Enter Everard Barfoot, Mary’s cousin, an ex-doctor in his 30s about to embark on a life of leisure, and suddenly all the characters in this lavish sexy ensemble piece are erupting with discoveries, contradictions and epiphanies. Genre busting, rule-bending and ambitiously original.

This production will also tour to Glasgow’s Tron Theatre, the Byre Theatre in St Andrews and The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen.
