Midsummer Mischief

Midsummer Mischief is a series of four plays performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at The Other Place and the Royal Court Theatre in 2014. It was initiated with regard to the "Roaring Girls" season at the Swan Theatre in the same year. The playwrights Timberlake Wertenbaker, Alice Birch, , and were asked to write one play each, answering Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's provocation: "Well-behaved women seldom make history." The four resulting plays are The Ant and the Cicada, Revolt. She Said. Revolt again., I Can Hear You, and This is Not an Exit. The series has been reviewed by major newspapers like The Guardian, The Independent, the Telegraph, or the Birmingham Post, but also by more specialised media, like the feminist blog The F-Word. rdf:langString
