Explosive new guerilla-gig-theatre from ‘one of the most exciting forces in Scottish theatre’ ( The Scotsman ). With music by Kim Moore with Susan Bear and Julie Eisenstein from Glasgow’s hottest indie-pop duo Tuff Love, this fierce and playful new feminist work explores the psychology of extremism with haunting melodies and progressive punk riffs. It is about a woman. I’m not going to tell you her hair colour. Her skin colour. Whether she’s got an almond or a heart shaped face. All you need to know, right now, is that she is a person. Walking up a street. A street that you know. A street we all know. Towards a giant, glistening tower. A giant, glistening shaft. A shaft that you know. A shaft we all know.

In 1915, Mary Barbour led 20,000 women in Glasgow’s Rent Strikes. Mary Barbour’s Army fought against evictions from their homes with bundles of washing, cooking pots and wooden spoons.

Mrs Barbour’s Daughters , by award-winning playwright AJ Taudevin, charts a family history of sisterhood and betrayal interwoven in a social history of women’s resistance incorporating worker, protest and popular songs from the last 100 years.
