Casting "Soldier's Woman," a play. Production states: "Amazonia Music Theatre is back at The Cockpit Theatre with A Soldier’s Woman; an explosive musical play exploring the lives of working-class Victorian women. This feminist romp set in the 1850s begins in a rural pub in the Forest of Dean. Flora, A Soldier's Woman, is following a battalion squad headed for the Crimea. Runaway Maud is looking for her mother. The two women share a pint and fall in love, but after a brutal attack, they are forced to flee, pursued by fear and guilt. A fabulous, thought-provoking piece of theatre. Breaking down patriarchal imperialism and honouring the liberation of women, gender expression and sexual freedom. Written, directed and composed by Jude Alderson, 'The punk Piaf', founder of feminist theatre/cabaret company and band Sadista Sisters."
