An Unsuitable Job For A Women

An Unsuitable Job For A Women at Pascal Theatre Company 

What is your image of a 19th century woman? A doctor? An engineer? A Prison inspector? A Lawyer? In Bloomsbury, women challenged patriarchy by daring to enter professions forbidden to them. They banged on locked doors. They refused to hide their ambitions. These nineteenth century radicals broke into education, medicine, law and many ‘men only’ spaces. Dancing, Troublemaking, Taboo! follows three brilliant minds who insisted that a woman can be a medic, a classicist and an accountant. They teach us that the generic for human is not ‘man’. Enjoy these three women’s energy, passion and chutzpah as stars who blazed a trail which we can recognise and celebrate.

Written and directed by Julia Pascal.
