Description
In 1569, a group of women in a Staffordshire castle sew elaborate tapestries as their escape, sanity, and expression. Their stitches hold power to change not just their own lives but the course of English history. This is the story behind The Glove Thief by Beth Flintoff, part of Platform, an initiative from Tonic Theatre in partnership with Nick Hern Books. Inspired by historical tapestries created during Mary Queen of Scots' imprisonment, this play explores the intersection of four women's lives on the point of a needle. Through their artistry and expression, they find ways to cope with their circumstances and leave their mark on history. The Glove Thief is a powerful exploration of the impact of women's creativity and resilience in shaping the course of English history.
