Theatre
Things We Do Not Know
Revival of this verbatim exploration of female street sex workers in Bristol, first performed in 2017.
Using verbatim theatre and music, this hour-long production asks how these women end up having to sell themselves for sex. It explores how society views them, and how they can get help. The piece began development last year in collaboration with Bristol-based charity One25 and the Bristol theatre society Spotlights.
“This piece was a creative, brave and fantastically directed testament to the Bristol-based charity One25 which helps street sex workers break free from their traumatic and dangerous lives.” Intermission
“It never sought to shock or relish in a perpetuated sense of tragedy, nor did it sensationalize the idea of “sex” in sex-work… it just wanted to be honest.” Epigram
