A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Satire/Political Satire / 2w
by Charli Cowgill and Laurie Ward
“I'm here with you too, Germaine – lying awake at night and wondering where that last century went.”
Winner! 2024 Untapped Award
On the day The Female Eunuch is issued in America, a transgender woman in flapping draperies rushes up to Germaine Greer and says, “Thank you… thank you so much for all you’ve done for us girls”
Ugly Sisters is an operatic, heretic, parasitic and hallucinatory retelling of this very moment, of sisterhood, of all feminist history.
Publishing in conjunction with the run at Underbelly, Cowgate, Edinburgh Fringe from 1st August.
GERMAINE GREER – F, multiple ages, played by a trans woman. FLAPPING DRAPERIES – F, multiple ages, played by a trans woman. STAGE MANAGER – Should be the production’s actual stage manager.
Other figures appear throughout the course of the play to be played by the two performers, such as the MC and the BACKUP DANCER. These are not characters as such, but figures of fantasy, forces of stagecraft, or human props in the scene.
Here. 1990 and now.
“A groundbreaking exploration of womanhood.” — Broadway World
“A deliberately unnerving, deeply moving piece of performance art.” — Everything Theatre
“It feels almost trivial to add that Ugly Sisters has a resonance beyond Greer and Trans-Exclusion: but it depicts the trauma of admiring a hero who then betrays through vicious immorality.” — Fest Magazine
“Ephemeral and thought-provoking.” — The Guardian
“Brutally sincere.” — Recs
“It is exhilarating, scintillating.” — The Scotsman
“Raw and riotous.” — The Stage
