The Singing Stones at the Arcola Theatre, London

The Singing Stones is a triad of short plays, each offering a poetic, fearless and sometimes funny exploration of women and the Arab revolutions.From the heroines of Tahrir Square to the female fighting forces defending the borders of Kurdistan, from the women who snitched on Gaddafi to a band of quarrelling artists struggling to invent a future female revolutionary icon.Was the Arab Spring the greatest missed opportunity of the 21st century?

“You can always tell a dictator by his roots. They all dye their hair that dodgy soot black. The minute they do, they should be frog marched off and lynched in the public square. That simple pre-emptive action would save several genocides!”

World première

What the Press has said before about Kay Adshead:“A poetic mortar bomb… emotionally explosive…” – The Financial Times on Thatcherwrite 2013“Words in Adshead’s hands are bullets…” – The Independent on The Bogus Woman About Mama Quilla:

“Mama Quilla excels at taking personal experiences and transposing them to a beautiful if at times uncomfortable form of art, they quite literally provide platforms for those seldom heard, and are sure to go from strength to strength as word spreads” – the Public Reviews 2014
