The Female of the Species

Margot Mason, celebrated feminist, academic, mother and author of best-seller The Cerebral Vagina, has never had any problems inspiring adulation.

As she sits in her country home, struggling with a deadline, in walks Molly Rivers, student, idealist and daughter of one of Margot's biggest fans. 

Initially flattered, Margot is less pleased when Molly handcuffs her to her desk and threatens to kill her.

This deliciously funny farce from celebrated playwright, Joanna Murray-Smith, looks at the fallout for the fans when our celebrated heroes change their mind.

Inspired by a real life incident when Germaine Greer was held captive in her own home in 2000, The Female of the Species is a hilarously intelligent night out with the ladies.
