Jude Alderson - A Soldier's Woman Interview
Behind the curtainJude Alderson describes the importance of the show's themes, especially around ‘the theme of free-spirited women, not just being victims but finding a way of expressing themselves and really growing’.
Review: A Soldier’s Woman, Cockpit Theatre
Everything Theatre'The play also highlights manipulation and abuse faced by its female characters: Maude mistreated by her father, working women jilted by their lovers, and Flora faced with violence by a fling. Between this and the brutality of the war – with which the male characters are preoccupied – the story sheds a light on the opportunity for liberation that performative and female-dominated spaces have to offer.'
