Two women, two different decades; both on the edge
A groundbreaking one-woman musical written and performed by Daisy Boulton (Measure for Measure, Almeida Theatre; Shakespeare in Love, West End). Inspired by the book A Woman on The Edge of Time by Jeremy Gavron, we are sent back to the 1960s and immersed in a dream world of original music, as we live through moments in the life of his mother, feminist pioneer, and leading sociologist Hannah Gavron. Edge of Time is a haunting exploration of the power of hope, and the life-affirming journey of breaking free from conformity. Directed by Natasha Rickman (Antigone and Little Women, Storyhouse; The Prince, Nebula, and Southwark Playhouse) and produced by Daisy Boulton and Michelle Schechter for Vantage Point (More Flames), this is a contemporary response generations later, filled with compassion and an aching need to communicate. Edge of Time is ultimately about finding your voice and a way through the darkness.
