Celebrate International Women’s Day – Workie Ticket style – as part of North Shields 800
Funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund
Written by JoJo Kirtley | Directed by Ashlea Sanderson
Deeds, Words and Danger is a bold, funny and powerful new play inspired by 800 years of North Shields women - from medieval lay sisters and suffragettes to wartime heroines, boxers, carers and teenagers growing up today.
At the heart of the play is an unexpected relationship between Ruby, a sharp-witted 15-year-old wannabe boxer facing exclusion from school, and Mina, her mentor - a retired history teacher with her own wounds and a fire for justice. Together, they journey across North Shields, uncovering women who refused to stay quiet and the risks they took by speaking out.
Created with women and girls from North Shields, this performance confronts misogyny and racism, connects past to present and celebrates resistance, resilience and belonging.
This is not a polite history lesson. It’s about deeds, words and danger -then and now.
*This performance will take place in The Loft- which is a performance space at The Exchange*
There are two performances - 12.15 & 2.15pm
Signs will be up/FOH will be outside The Exchange and we will send you instructions closer to the date.
