Abstract / Summary

Women writers from West Cornwall Women’s Aid engaged in writing workshops to respond to William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. The play has a male to female abusive relationship at its core. The women writers shared stories of their lived experiences of domestic abuse to generate text, props and costumes for the producing company, Moving Stories, and the producing theatre, The Minack Theatre. The intention was to combine real life experiences of today with this 400 year old play so that the participants and audience could examine the impact and consequences of abusive behaviour, then and now.
