Benny & Kate: Woman Caught Unaware
Age advisory 12+
Woman Caught Unaware
Benny&Kate theatre company
A professor of art history must decide what action to take when an unflattering naked photograph of her in a changing room is shared online. Exploring how images of women are represented in art and social media Annie Fox's monologue explores the many emotions of a woman facing humiliation from trolls & her fight back against the body shamers.
Benny&Kate is a North Devon based theatre company that enjoys bringing contemporary, challenging and innovative theatre to small intimate venues and to rural communities.
“Annie Fox’s writing is full of gorgeous language, while Deborah Hadley’s performance draws the audience in, inviting us to both laugh and cry with her.
"As the perspectives of older women are frequently ignored, this performance offers a unique insight into a voice often unheard. Nonetheless, the story can strike chords with us all, as it touches on love and loss.
"This show is personal and yet somehow universal, as it touches on fears that we all have, of ageing and of losing those that we love. Woman Caught Unaware has been received with open arms so far, so if you’re yet to see it, I recommend that you do.”
