At Alexandra Palace, during our Women and War workshops, we collaborated with nine of our writer-performers (Angela Garwood, Trisha Gibbons, Judit Hollos, Cherie Hughes, Sandra Mills, Claire Nelson, Anna Connolly-Quirós, Ruth Vaughn, and Wendy Young), along with veteran performers Deni Francis and Pauline Moran. Together, we created our experimental performance piece Crossing No Man’s Land, devised by Kay Adshead and company.
We performed on March 8, 2025, at the Alexandra Palace celebrating International Women’s Day and on March 15, 2025, at Camden People’s Theatre.

“A thought provoking and uniquely presented exploration of conflict. The ebb and flow of intertwined personal and international issues left a deep impression, like a boot in the mud of no man's land.”
“An utterly gripping piece that took me on a breathtaking journey. Black, ironic, comically absurd, disturbing but ultimately riveting. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.”
“Rough theatre, or Holy theatre take your pick, astonishingly timely and fearless.”
