by Ella Hickson
A young writer challenges the status quo but discovers that creative gain comes at a personal cost.
Ella Hickson’s play The Writer premiered in April 2018 at the Almeida Theatre, London, in a production directed by Blanche McIntyre.
‘Wow. Here’s a drama that channels all the righteous anger of the moment, the pent-up fury that women have found themselves at last allowed to express… [Ella Hickson] hits the jackpot once more with this coruscating examination of power structures both artistic and personal and how received ideas shaped by an inescapably patriarchal society infuse the two realms’
Evening Standard
‘Riveting… Playful and impassioned… Above all, the play is asking a big question: do we need new theatrical forms to reflect a society in the midst of a sexual revolution? Hickson’s approach is witty, clever and keeps the ground shifting under one’s feet’
