About:
Two women, two cages. In 1898, a young woman in late Qing China is bound by
lotus shoes and arranged marriage. In Victorian England, another is
trapped by hysteria and a husband’s law. Separated by geography but
mirrored on stage across a transparent divide, their lives unfold side by
side from girlhood, through marriage, mirroring each other in a fierce

intimate new writing, feminist history and stories that refuse to stay
