The Wilde Festival is a new Theatre Production Company founded by Rosemary Doyle, Jennifer Watson and Dorian Hart to explore the world through the lens of Oscar Wilde, therefore celebrating Wit, Beauty, Bilingualism, LTGBQ+ rights and activism, and exploring the effects of the criminal justice system. In that we are pleased to bring you:
The Elephant Girls
Written & Performed by Margo MacDonald
A Parry Riposte Production
Directed by Mary Ellis
Costume Design by Vanessa Imeson
Winner of seven awards and three 100% sold-out runs, this riveting new work arrives for its first run in Toronto, having most recently played at the Undercurrents Festival in Ottawa and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland.
“Without doubt, they were the most notorious girl gang Britain’s ever seen.”
(Brian McDonald,The Gangs of London)
Clever, organized, devious & daring; they stole from the rich and gave to themselves. A fascinating piece of lost women’s history, only recently brought to light, this is the gripping tale of the all-female gang which terrorized London for over 100 years.
“Right here, right now, for one night only, I’ll tell you something special
I ain’t never told no one before; I’ll tell you the truth.” (Maggie Hale, The Elephant Girls)
The truth. As told by Maggie Hale–the gang’s suit-wearing, bloody-knuckled, girl-chasing “enforcer”. She’ll tell you all: who they were, what they did, how they got away with it, and how it all came crashing down. But just how much are you sure you want to hear?
A story both captivating and repelling, humorous and terrifying. You won’t be able to look away.
—Winner Best of Fest, Outstanding Production, Critics’ Pick for Best Show (Ottawa Fringe Festival 2015), Outstanding New Work, Direction, and Performance (Les Prix Rideau Awards), & Best Actress (Capital Critics Circle).—
