Well-behaved Women

A musical feast celebrating the women who refused to behave.

“Well-behaved women seldom make history” – Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

How would Cleopatra, Mary Magdalene, Virginia Woolf, Frida Kahlo, Billie Jean King, Cathy Freeman and Malala Yousafzai sound if we heard them sing their thoughts?

Well-Behaved Women, a song cycle by Carmel Dean is a musical feast by where these legends (and a few we’re keeping up our sleeves) are brought to life and reimagined through powerful and often hilarious songs, that celebrate the ways in which their behaviour helped them make history.

Well-behaved? As if.

Approximate running times of each production are uploaded to the production page as soon as that information becomes available. During the rehearsal period running times are liable to change given the extensive workshopping and development each production undergoes before it reaches the stage.
