No Woman Is An Island

About this event
Three years ago a theatremaker set out to investigate woman’s tireless pursuit of alone time. She presents her findings, veering between texts from great female thinkers, banal thoughts about crockery and intimate vignettes from a marriage. No Woman is an Island is a meditation on geographies of the Self. It maps the internal and external spaces in which we live our lives while walking a wonky line through cultural theories and histories of female solitude. With sharp humour and quiet ferocity, the piece creates an intimate and thoughtful space for audiences to consider the relationship between productivity and identity. Following a sell-out run at Dublin Theatre Festival and a tour of Ireland, No Woman is an Island makes its UK premiere at Traverse.
