Description
Sarah Daniels' plays are marked by their unflinching portrayal of women's lives and experiences. This collection brings together three powerful works that explore themes of identity, independence, and the complexities of the human condition. The Gut Girls, set in late Victorian Deptford, reveals the lives of a group of strong-willed women who work in the slaughterhouse, only to have their profession made illegal. Beside Herself is a dramatic exploration of madness, examining the social tragedy that affects many women today. Head-Rot Holiday, commissioned by Clean Break theatre company, sheds light on the experiences of women detained in special hospitals. Through her writing, Sarah Daniels offers a unique perspective on the lives and struggles of women, often finding humour and compassion in the most challenging situations.
