'Cherchez la femme' is a somewhat cheeky French phrase. It embodies a cliché of detective pulp fiction: no matter what the problem, a woman is often the root cause. However, to many of us this could be stated conversely: no matter the woman, there is often a problem she is having to solve. And usually, with a good dollop of humour.
This Women’s History Month, we’re putting that humour on full display with an incredible lineup of comedians, clowns and comics. As a Theatre that has been run by women for 29 years, we’re here to look at the past, present and future of performance and all that female and femme creators can make of it. Come to the Rosie this March to celebrate, interrogate, and above all, laugh your head off!
When you look for the woman, who knows what else you'll find.
Featuring Lorna Rose Treen, Tamsyn Kelly, Freddie Hayes, Natasha Mercado, Ayoade Bamgboye, Beth Knight, Candace Bryan, Chantel Nash, Samira Banks and many more!
Join us this March at the Rosie to look for the woman!
