Reclaim Festival: The Dame Show – A Show in Development

  • Show Information

The Dame Show is a riotous new theatre piece dressed up as a traditional TV game show – but instead of winning cuddly toys, we’re tackling the big prize: women’s health. Why has research into women’s health lagged so far behind? What myths still hold sway? And how does this affect the care women receive today?

Inspired by real stories, medical research and professional insight, The Dame Show puts women’s voices centre stage – sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, always eye-opening.

Whether you are a woman, love a woman, or simply want to understand more about half the population, The Dame Show has something for everyone. Expect laughs, gasps, and the occasional outrageous prop… all in the name of changing the conversation around women’s health.

It’s bingo with a twist. Blind Date with a dose of truth. The Generation Game reimagined. But this time, women aren’t just the contestants. They’re running the show.


This event is part of Reclaim Festival, our yearly celebration of women in the arts. Featuring brilliant new writing, not-so-new-but-also-brilliant writing, workshops, music and more, immerse yourself in locally sourced female greatness, to be enjoyed by everyone.
