That Takes Ovaries – performance and open mic with a difference!
Not strictly poetry perhaps, but Liverpool’s Unity Theatre hosts a unique celebration of women’s courage, perseverance and outrageousness with real-life stories from around the world; from the disabled woman organising a ‘pee protest’ to secure her right to a accessible toilet, to the ‘smutmonger’ who breaks boundaries to write about sex, and those women who risked their lives to highlight child prostitution and honour killings.
After the show the audience is invited to join in an open-mic session to tell their own stories of ovarian bravery.
All profits go to Merseyside Women’s Movement nominated charities: RASA - Merseyside’s Rape & Sexual Assault Support Service and Seema - a Bangladeshi women’s village helping to support women through poverty & trauma.
