This Show Doesn't Pass the Bechdel Test
Off Peak Theatre, Manchester Metropolitan University 


How many feminists does it take to change theatre and film history?

From the recasting of Marlon Brando to their own "Bro podcast", the show follows how five women, with nothing more than a stage, a camera, and a few costumes, take on the roles of men in the media to discover what goes wrong.

Will they manage to escape the roles they've been forced to stay in forever, or will they end up wondering if they'll ever be taken seriously under the male gaze?

A tragicomic critique of patriarchy in an engaging and provocative performance.
