🍾 Season 2 has arrived! 🍻
🩷 Thank-you all for the warm feedback and comments on Season 1! We’re glad you love the gang as much as we do! 🩷

Here at Eleven Arms, we wanted to answer a few questions for those who are not sure how this all works, given it’s a relatively new way of participating in a festival. So, we’ve drummed up a few of the questions we’re most frequently asked. If you have any others, please feel free to reach out! Chances are, other people also have the same questions!
1) How long is each episode?
Each episode of Women’s Shout - The Happy Hour last from around 2 minutes to 5 and a half minutes. Most episodes are around 3 and a half.

2) Do you need to purchase each season individually?
Good news! Each season is included in the ticket price. We are delaying the release of each season due to the break in time when they are set. We figure, our characters had to wait a number of years, we can probably wait a few days!

3) I purchased a ticket! What do I do now?
Edinburgh Festival Fringe will email you a confirmation with the way to access the episodes. This will include the website and the password to enter the restricted area. From here jump onto the website and watch when it suits you! Whether you’re squeezing us into your busy Edinburgh plans, or you wish you could be there, we’ll perform at any time, on your schedule.

4) I’m really enjoying it! What can I do next?
A couple of things! Let us know about it for starters… But also, tell your friends! Because we’re not physically in Edinburgh we can’t do the normal festival hustle. So we’d love your help spreading the word.
Also, we know it’s a bit weird to go to a theatre and not applaud at the end of a show. You can use the comments to leave us a clap if you enjoyed what you saw too!
(If this question didn’t ring true for you, we thank-you for your support and sorry that this wasn’t your cup of tea, but also, please don’t spread the word…)

There’s also a small selection of other shows doing Digital Fringe, and it’s worth checking them out too. It’s a broad selection!

Season 2 is coming! What’s more, it’s coming tomorrow!

We rejoin our local pub in a time of political turmoil. It’s 1975, and the Governor General – Australia’s representative of the monarchy – has dismissed the sitting Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam. The party campaigned in 1972 on a platform of significant progressive change, including national health care and ending Australia’s part in the Vietnam War. This agenda proved extremely popular, especially with younger Australians. After less than three years in power the Whitlam government had enacted 508 bills. Significant laws were passed in relation to a range issues, including education, community health and wellbeing, Indigenous Australians, multiculturalism, women’s rights, international relations, defence, environment, economy and the arts. While the Whitlam government instigated many positive changes, it was not without controversy and opposition. After a double dissolution election, economic hardship, scandal, the senate blocking effective government and questionable international negotiations, Whitlam proposed a half senate election, and the Governor General countered by dismissing Whitlam from the Prime Ministerial position. This remains the first and only dismissal where a representative, not elected by the people of Australia, has unseated the Prime Minister, dismissed a government and installed a Caretaker Prime Minister, in Malcolm Fraser.

It is in this political landscape that we reacquaint with Eileen, Gordon, Jeanette and Reg.

Season 2 of Women’s Shout - The Happy Hour! drops tomorrow. Don’t block your own supply. Find yourself a seat and buckle up, for 1975.

🗓️ When thinking about period art, it’s so often pegged to Victorian England or Ancient civilisations. But with the turn of the millennium happening nearly 25 years ago… it’s getting close to the time where we can start calling it a period of past time 😳 Yikes! Feeling old? So are we!

Women’s Shout - The Happy Hour is set over 45 years, from 1955 to the end of the century, following the same four people and how they change over time. It is a work that explores our recent-ish history through the lens of the individuals who were just trying to live their lives while some extraordinary things were happening around them.

Don’t feel old, get nostalgic with us! First season premiers at midnight August 5, Edinburgh time. Join us by using the QR code, or go here:

Here at Eleven Arms we’ve been working to reimagine what theatre is like out of the physical theatre space… and now, we’re taking it one step further to reimagine what immersive theatre is like when viewing through a screen.

When the experience of seeing a show is designed to be in amongst the performance space, how can you experiment with this form? Are other audience members necessary to the experience? Can an actor reach through the divide of distance and close the gap? Does the person behind the lens of the camera become as integral to the theatrical experience as the actors - they are standing in for the audience member after all!

These are all questions we have been drilling down into while creating Women’s Shout - The Happy Hour. And it’s only 5 days until you can get in amongst the first chapter of the experiment. First season premiers at midnight August 5, Edinburgh time. Curious? Only one way to find out… use the QR code, or go here:
