WOMENTHEATRENET sets out to discover what a history of 19th-century western theatre might look like if the work of women were placed at its centre. WOMENTHEATRENET will make visible transnational female-centred networks of creative and intellectual exchange. The project brings together a team of 7 researchers, and an international network of Visiting Fellows. Professor Newey and her team are also working with Cornwall-based feminist theatre company, Scary Little Girls to put women's plays into the rehearsal studio and eventually, back into our theatres.
