MEET THE ROARING GIRLS

We're Rachael, Lizi, Sarah & Shaunagh, and we are The Roaring Girls. The Roaring Girls are a Hull-based theatre company creating work that is fierce, feminist, and fun. We use autobiographical narratives to create our work - we want to talk about things we can relate to, that our audience can relate to. We believe that approaching big, sometimes taboo, subjects on a personal level, allows us to talk about these topics with our audiences. Our work is the first part of a conversation- our audiences leave laughing, crying, and most importantly , talking. ​Our work is often devised, but even when working with writers, collaboration is at the core of our practice - the voices and experiences of the people in the room shape our work. We aim to foster a supportive, creative environment where everyone is heard and valued equally. ​The Roaring Girls was founded in 2014, when Rachael Abbey and Lizi Perry created Skirts, Shirts, and Vintage Dresses for Assemble Fest. Since then, we’ve been a New Diorama Graduate Emerging Company, performed at BeSTival in Switzerland, collaborated with the University of Hull, and grown the company to a core team of four awesome women. www.theroaringgirls.co.uk hello@theroaringgirls.co.uk @theroaringgirls

Meet Lizi, our other amazing co-artistic director. A scarf-wearing, tea-drinking, theatre-making redhead, she co-founded the company with Rachael in 2014 and can't live without books, hot sauce and post-it notes (not all together).
