Jane Doe
Created by Eleanor Bishop & Performed by Karin McCracken
This is a participatory theatre show reflecting on rape culture in our communities.
Jane Doe goes to a party. She gets drunk. She blacks out. She is raped.
This is a participatory theatre show reflecting on rape culture in our communities.
One performer leads a public reading of a rape trial script, where audience members read as witnesses and lawyers, and feed in live responses via their phones. Interwoven with frank and funny documentary footage with young people from across America and Aotearoa, Jane Doe is a revelatory and carefully crafted discussion on consent, feminism and sexual empowerment.
“Insightful, powerful and must not be missed”
“Unquestionably should be seen by as many people as possible”
