A three-week season of innovative theatre, performance, comedy, cabaret and discussion about feminism starring Bridget Christie, Sara Pascoe and more.

CPT co-directors Jenny Paton and Brian Logan say: “we were struck earlier this year by the number of feminist-themed applications to our annual Sprint festival. That didn’t come out of nowhere: the boom in feminist thought and action - from No More Page 3 to Caitlin Moran, from Jane Austen on banknotes to Everyday Sexism on Twitter - has been one of the most heartening features of public life in the last couple of years. Our Calm Down, Dear festival celebrates and channels that. We’re really proud to be hosting some of the most exciting and urgent art to be found at the crest of this feminist new wave.”

We're most looking forward to seeing the award winning A Bic for Her by Bridget Christie, Sara Pascoe, Luisa Omielan and Figs in Wigs.

23rd October- 10th November
