Behind the mask... Behind the scenes... Lady M is starting to get impatient! Having been traversing the country since mid-September, we said goodbye to our Yorkshire rehearsal spaces this week. It's all London now in preparation for our opening night on Wednesday! See you there? LADY M Playhouse East 14th-18th October Ticket link in bio. by @ladymplay
Moments from our LADY M journey so far. It’s certainly been an adventure. It has been a labour of love. And it hasn’t always been straightforward. We’ve been working together to create this piece for a long time. Navigating different cities, different lives, different schedules. Sometimes waiting months for the next opportunity to be in a room together, bringing our ideas to life. When we started out, we didn’t quite know where we were heading or what a final production might look like. But our shared passion for the project - for the character, for her story, for the work that created our company - has kept us moving forwards. We’re incredibly proud and excited that the next step of our journey is bringing this show to you! It would mean the world to us if you would join us at Playhouse East, 14-18 October.

FIVE STARS FOR LADY M! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A huge thank you to @rhysreviews for such a generous and thoughtful review of LADY M! It means so much to have someone engage so deeply with the work, and we were especially touched that Rhys made the journey from Cardiff to London and joined us for one of our workshops, too. Thank you for being part of our little Lady M journey! 🩸 by @ladymplay
FOUR STARS FOR LADY M! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We're absolutely thrilled with this wonderful, thoughtful review from @curtainup.club, celebrating Jessica Kinsey's extraordinary performance and the team behind LADY M. A huge thank you to Curtain Up Club for taking the time to engage so deeply with the work. The curtain may have fallen on our London run, but we have a feeling Lady M isn't finished with us yet…🩸 by @ladymplay
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. AGAIN. 🩸 More lovely words from our LADY M audiences. by @ladymplay
What happens when we look beyond Shakespeare’s most notorious villain and ask what lies beneath her ambition, ruthlessness and desire for power? Created by @theworkingactiongroup , @ladymplay is the pilot production of Psyched-Up Shakespeare, a project bringing contemporary psychology into dialogue with Shakespeare’s characters. It explores Lady Macbeth’s inner world, revealing the fears, vulnerabilities and contradictions behind the woman we think we know. @jesskinsey_ commands the stage in this mesmerising one-woman performance, taking us on a 70-minute journey through ambition, manipulation, self-doubt, heartbreak and moments of unexpected humour. What makes Lady M particularly fascinating is that it preserves almost all of Shakespeare’s original lines for Lady Macbeth, using new writing to explore the thoughts, contradictions and emotions that lie between them. Rather than simply modernising Macbeth, it expands our understanding of the woman Shakespeare created, offering a more complex psychological portrait than the familiar legend allows. The production’s distinctive vision comes together through @drbenjaminaskew ‘s writing and direction, @racheldefontes ’s creative producing, @carlottadegregori ‘s movement direction and Hannah Kaye’s associate direction, all brought to life through Jessica Kinsey’s compelling performance. Sometimes, the most interesting way to revisit a familiar character is not to change who she is, but to change how we see her. Thanks for the kind invite, feeling lucky to witness your work 🍀 @theworkingactiongroup #ladymachbet #TheWorkingActionGroup #CurtainUpClub #LondonTheatre #TheatreReview by @ladymplay

Out, out, brief candle. We say good night to our run of LADY M at Playhouse East. I am hugely grateful to everyone who came to see the show, to all the people and venues, both in London and in Yorkshire, who have supported us on this journey, and to every member of Team Lady M: to Rachel De Fontes, our creative producer, without whom the production simply would not have happened, and to Carlotta De Gregori and Hannah Kaye, our movement director and associate director, each of whom made incalculable contributions to what the piece has become. Most of all, I am grateful to and for the remarkable Jessica Kinsey. We started working together on this project long before there was a team, before there was a production, before we really knew what the project might be. That process of shared exploration has been one of the most creative and rewarding of my theatrical career to date. What Jess has brought to this project, both as a person and an artist, has been nothing short of extraordinary. It has been a privilege to do this work together, and I am so proud of us for getting to where we got to and dumbstruck with admiration for the performance that Jess created. There is more to be said than can be captured in a caption. So, for now, I'll stick with thank you - with the addition of watch this space. Because this is the first project we've made as The Working Action Group... And I, for one, am fascinated to see what happens next. Ticket link no longer available.
