It’s aim was to empower women by putting them centre stage and shining a spotlight on female talent, their creative contributions to the industry and their achievements.
Audiences throughout the four day event enjoyed an exciting line-up of new plays, discussions and talks from women including Ita O'Brien, Jenny Sealey, Lynda Rooke, Winsome Pinnock and Polly Kemp. The festival opened with a keynote speech by award-winning playwright Winsome Pinnock.
