“The play could be interpreted as being anti-women” - were the critics right?

“Tulips: The Radio Drama” asks whether domestic abuse (mostly) just happens to women.

Should we be marketing it as an educational tool? Does it present a biased view? How could we improve it?

All views welcomed at a live Zoom Q&A with the cast 7.30pm 5th May. Please join us & share - www.southhillpark.org.uk/events/tulips-zoom-qa/

About the play

“All we know is the tip of the iceberg. Remarkable, a refreshing success” (Listomania Bath)

“Utterly absorbing & mesmeric theatre” (The Whitley Pump)

“Makes you question social justice & society’s morality. Outstanding” (The Spark)
