'Mary and The Hyenas' at Hull Truck Theatre, with Pilot Theatre
MD for new play by Maureen Lennon, Directed by Esther Richardson, Music by Billy Nomates, aka Tor Maries
'I write. I demand. I ask. Not for women to have power over men but over themselves.' Trailblazing writer, feminist philosopher, and fearless campaigner for women's rights, Mary Wollstonecraft lived a life of courage and determination.
She dared to defy the conventions of eighteenth-century Britain, and kept going when many wanted to bring her down. Maureen Lennon's play Mary and the Hyenas is a searing tribute to the spirit and resilience of a woman who fought for equality and justice – and an exhilarating dive into history and the birth of feminism.
