Garidge Theatre has commissioned a brand new play – A Monstrous Regiment of Women – to be performed at Inverurie’s Garioch Heritage Centre as part of Scotland’s Year of Stories programme. Written by award-winning writer Alan Bissett, the play will explore the life of inspirational Scottish feminist, suffragette and journalist, Caroline Phillips (1874 – 13 January 1956). Born in Kintore, Aberdeenshire, Caroline was a true pioneer: honorary secretary of the Aberdeen branch of the Women's Social and Political Union, and a journalist at a time when there were only 66 female journalists in the UK. Performed in English and Doric dialect by a cast of twenty young people who live in and around Inverurie, this will be a fabulous celebration of local history and language. The play will be directed by experienced theatre-maker Rhona Mitchell – many of the cast are part of Mitchell School of Drama – with musical direction by Alisdair Sneden. Performances will take place as part of the popular Garioch Theatre Festival.
