Lady In Red

 

One woman’s struggle to break the chains of love

The definitive play on coercive control.

Lady In Red

It is Christmas Eve and ‘Rose,’ a woman in a red dress, awakes to find that she has no memory of who or where she is. As she gradually weaves the threads of memory together, a dark and violent picture begins to emerge….

Compelled to leave for fear of her life Rose begins to pack…but it’s dark outside and the house is full of strange noises.

Will she escape, before her attacker returns? …Or is he still in the house?

Lady In Red

combines superb dialogue, a compelling plot, inspired performance and evocative colours to create an unforgettable experience – a journey through one woman’s attempts to leave an abusive relationship.

Deaf woman are twice as likely to be subjected to domesticabuse than hearing women. So I am really pleased to be screening our coarcivecontrol drama film – LADY IN RED with captions and BSL interpretation at The Deafway Social Hub, Brockholes Brow in Preston on Tuesday 10th September 1.30pm

This is a FREE event and all are welcome. There will also be an after show Q&A with an interpreter. 

Lady In Red

provides an excellent means of focusing on the complex issues surrounding domestic abuse and is an ideal event in itself as well as a great way to help focus your own event or training.

Power and control, physical, emotional and psychological abuse, fear of the unknown and “Why doesn’t she leave?” are just some of the issues raised in this contemporary look at domestic violence.

The accompanying after-show discussion with the writers and actors enables audiences to connect with these issues in an accessible and positive way.

Lady In Red has toured the UK and as far as The Falkland Islands

"Beautifully written & performed play and rightly shortlisted for the Amnesty Int Freedom of Expression Award. This will stay with me for a long time"

Sara Jennings – Audience member

"Lady in Red accomplishes the nearly impossible. It powerfully conveys the lived experience of coercive control, including its most devastating effects on one woman's dignity and autonomy, while embracing her capacity for hope and resistance. Alternately outrageous, thrilling, moving, educational and a springboard for action,. This is political theater at its very best."

Evan Stark Ph.D. MSW Professor Emeritus at Rutgers University and author of the award-winning Coercive Control: How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life.
