3Women premieres in May

 Katy Brand’s  first play, is to make its debut in London next month.

3Women stars former EastEnder  Anita Dobson with Debbie Chazen, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Oliver Greenall.

Producers Stage Traffic Productions say the play ‘explores what it means to be a woman in the 21st century and the consequences of the generational gap on our attitudes, cultural expectations and family dynamic. From wedding celebrations to relationship disillusionment, 3 Women is razor-sharp funny and caustically irresistible.’

It  will run  at  from Trafalgar Studios from May 15 to June 9.

Brand said: ‘3Women is a play I have been hoping to write for several years, but now that feminism and women’s rights are at the very forefront of the global conversation, I wanted to really explore those issues from the point of view of three generations of women, and how they interact and intersect within the same family

‘These movements are not so straightforward as the media would sometimes have us believe, but wrapped up in the chaotic and all-too-human lived experiences of real women, from the Suffragettes to those who currently campaign for transgender rights. 

‘We are all simply trying our best to be 'modern women' (whatever that means), making mistakes, and blundering on as best we can.’

Brand is best  known for her ITV2 sketch  show Katy Brand's Big Ass Show,which ran from 2007 to 2009.   n 2014 she published her first novel, Brenda Monk is Funny, crowdfunded through the publisher Unbound.

She turned to stand-up in 2016 for the autobipgraphical  I Was a Teenage Christian, and last year's follow-up I Could've Been An Astronaut.
