Sold out theatre, sold out principles. A radical play captures the zeitgeist. Its young female writer is propelled to commercial success. But thats where the compromises start. Ella Hicksons shocking metatheatrical thriller asks how to stay afloat in the rising tide of the theatre industry. Across five surprising, slippery-structured acts, the play interrogates how relationships artistic, romantic and those murkily in between are warped by patriarchy, power and money. How much compromise can one woman take? This grenade of a play is not to be missed. Following a sold out run of Lucy Kirkwood's The Children in February, Fennec Fox Productions returns to tackle another striking work of contemporary theatre with the first ever staging of The Writer in Oxford.
