"Gritty, gripping, funny and not a romanticised or sentimental view of the realities for many women but also men!"
"Very powerful and brilliantly acted, thank you"
"Captivating, moving and so relevant"
"This show is beautiful, and heartbreaking, and true"
"Absolutely heartbreakingly brilliant performances. Superb control. Such sensitive direction"
Stop Male Violence Against Women. Now.
When Stepping Out Theatre chose to make their first fully online production of 2021 Abbie Spallen's 'Pumpgirl', we did not know that our play would be opening in the middle of a huge wave of public anger about sexual violence towards women. Abbie has written of her own anger that, nearly 15 years on from the writing of this play, we are still only making painfully slow progress on this issue as a society. 15 years after it won awards and was staged for the first time in the UK and the US, Abbie Spallen's play is more relevant than ever.
Huge acclaim for our online performances has prompted this new 'physical' production.
