Women & Theatre present a series of dramatic monologues from their Women & Work trilogy. Developed from conversations with people, respecting individual human stories and asking important questions, this lively and entertaining podcast series puts women and work centre stage.
A new podcast adapted from our play On Ya Bike! A play we created this summer about cycling, active travel and how small changes can have a wheelie big impact. Commissioned by Travel West Midlands, as part of their wider programme Cycle for Everyone, the programme looks at the barriers people have towards cycling and encourages people to think about active travel.
The play was developed through research with women living in North Solihull. The play was written by Adaya Henry following devising sessions with Vicky Pritchard and Jo Gleave.
Performed by Dayna Bateman, Quennie Alexa Lim and Adaya Henry
Directed by Jo Gleave
Podcast recorded and edited by Birmingham Podcast Studio.
