Summary
On the day The Female Eunuch is issued in America, a transgender woman in flapping draperies rushes up to Germaine Greer and says, “Thank you… thank you so much for all you’ve done for us girls”
Ugly Sisters is an operatic, heretic, parasitic and hallucinatory retelling of this very moment, of sisterhood, of all feminist history.
Publishing in conjunction with the run at Underbelly, Cowgate, Edinburgh Fringe from 1st August.

Media
“A groundbreaking exploration of womanhood.” — Broadway World
“It feels almost trivial to add that Ugly Sisters has a resonance beyond Greer and Trans-Exclusion: but it depicts the trauma of admiring a hero who then betrays through vicious immorality.” — Fest Magazine
“It is exhilarating, scintillating.” — The Scotsman
“Raw and riotous.” — The Stage
