The Fabric of Each Other
Helen Goalen and Abbi Greenland, who form the theatre company RashDash, reflect on the nature of their - and other women's - strong friendship.
"The friendships of women have been not merely unsung but mocked, belittled and falsely interpreted." (Vera Brittain in Testament of Friendship, 1940)
Helen Goalen and Abbi Greenland, who form the theatre company RashDash, reflect on the nature of their strong friendship. They've been the best of friends and close artistic collaborators since meeting at university and explore how their experience relates to that of other women, including 19th Century social reformers and feminists Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton.
They also draw on the writings of Vera Brittain, Winifred Holtby and Tina Fey, as well as music from Alison Goldfrapp, Kate Bush and Amy Winehouse.
