The
Disappearance Of Dorothy Lawrence
South
Shields Customs House
Thursday 17th
September 2015
A
new play by award-winning theatre artist Julie McNamara directed by Paulette
Randall MBE explores the remarkable stories of the silenced First World War
correspondent Dorothy Lawrence.
It’s
1915. England is at war. Journalist
Dorothy Lawrence aims to become War Correspondent, cycles to the frontline in France never to be seen in
public again.
Vital Xposure interrogates the ways society deals with
women who step out of line.
A
cast of four with subtitling, filmed BSL narrative and audio-visual elements
leads the audience back in time to explore themes of inequality and power that
still resonate today.
Vital Xposure is a bold, dynamic, disability-led
production company operating under the creative leadership of Julie McNamara, who has just completed
a 19-month tour of her latest show Let
Me Stay. Vital Xposure promotes hidden voices with extraordinary
stories to tell. The company creates exciting, innovative theatrical
experiences for audiences, artists and communities alike. All our work is
inclusive and BSL integrated. Vital Xposure is part of Arts Council England’s
National Portfolio.
