Casting Announcement

We are so excited to announce that we have a cast! Allow us to introduce you to the three girls performing in Coming Home With Me. The lovely Beth Hodd, fresh out of Bath Spa's acting course, with a female focused attitude we love. Beth will be playing the sarcastic Girl A. Ellen Patterson, with a variety of productions under her belt, Coming Home With Me is a passion project for Ellen, having created her own verbatim production tackling the Irish thong-in-court scandal. We are so excited to have her on board. Ellen will be playing the fiery Girl B. And last but not least Eleanor Pead. Eleanor will be playing the complicated Girl C - Eleanor's wealth of experience in theatre-making and verbatim work from East 15 makes her a brilliant addition to the cast and we can't wait to get started on the process! Stay tuned for more posts and we can't wait to show you the process as we go along.

We follow the girls from getting ready, busting moves, sinking drinks through to going home with them.

What's next for Girl Code...

We're still reeling from our sell out, five star run at Brighton Fringe! Big thank you to all of our gorgeous audiences who seemed to really enjoy the show, we loved having you. We're now gearing ourselves up for a shows at The Old Red Lion Theatre in Angel (London) on the 17th July (21:30); then The Star Inn at Guildford Fringe on the 22nd July (19:30); and then a ten day run at Edinburgh Fringe at Sweet Novotel (2nd-11th August, 19:15) (heck).  Coming Home With Me will develop further as a show at each location we visit. We know that these stories of harassment and assault are not just happening in Brighton and we're going to reflect this by interviewing women local to each venue that we perform at. If you're interested in helping us dismantle the patriarchy one performance at the time feel free to drop me an email at maddiegirlcode@gmail.com. One last thing! If you did enjoy the show during Brighton Fringe feel free to vote for us in the Audience Choice A
