Fen
by Caryl Churchill
‘You’re a symptom of the times… You expect too much…’
Val wants more. Becky wants to be a hairdresser. Angela wants to escape.
Shirley can’t be doing with all the fuss everyone is making.
A community of working women. Grafting, striving, finding their way.
First performed by Joint Stock Theatre Group in 1983, this is the play’s first professional production in London since the original run.
Fen is presented as part of The Leverhulme Bursary for Emerging Theatre Directors, an exciting new award partnering the National Theatre Studio with the Finborough Theatre.
