Messy, Liberating, Funny

Petra is selling her knickers, Lara is mid crisis and Michelle has gone so far off the rails it’s rural. During a girl’s night out, Lydia escapes to the toilet fearing the worst, whilst all Cassie wants is some toilet roll.

In the magical land of the club toilets, worlds collide. A revolving bathroom door invites us into the sanctuary of the loos, and the hours in which five women find themselves retreating there. As late-night turns to early morning, we bear witness to problems faced, appearances undone, and how female friendship can be built in moments of vulnerability.

Sisterland is a still life capture of women finding their place and becoming themselves in a room without expectations. Here, we embrace the blood, tears, sick, stains, expletives, howls, anthems, urges, confessions, ecstasies, miseries and complete wonderment of Womanhood, Girlhood, Sisterhood. Ready? Get ya glad rags on. Time to get liberated.

Beginning as a performance art piece at Rose Bruford exploring the intersection of public bathrooms and confessional theatre, Sisterland later debuted as a 10-minute short play as a part of The Union Shorts, before moving on to show at Greenwich Theatre with Off Mainstage. In 2026, Sisterland joined the INK Festival programme as a rehearsed reading. As the piece continues to develop and grow it remains loyal to the real-life experience of women and their connection with one another.
