- Women of Sheffield tales

To celebrate International Women’s Day, Cocoon Collective will present three new pieces by three local artists this weekend at Theatre Deli.

Catching my Breath, by Clare McManus, explores how health, vulnerability and perspective develop throughout life; A Princess could Work, by Tommi Bryson, is a modern, queer reaction to the Disney Princesses of the early 90’s; and Sophie's Sale, by Mary-Frances Doherty, looks at how far, with cyberbullying getting increasingly out of control, some girls prepared to go to be ‘popular.’

This showcase by three incredibly talented local women will see different experiences, ages, histories, and stories unfold onstage this Friday and Saturday evening, March 2-3, at 7pm both night.
