The theatre criticism and content-creating landscape often feels very male and very white. As a female theatre reviewer, I wanted to set up a project over the next few months to celebrate my women colleagues.
In this list, I celebrate women of all ages and experience levels, including colleagues from the Global Majority and trans women.
You will find traditional long-form critics, bloggers, vloggers, and short-form content creators. They are based mainly in London, but as far afield as California. Some run large sites with a team, others are one-woman powerhouses or have built a profile across different platforms.
The following are already confirmed, and profiles will be online here through May and June. I hope to see this list grow over the next few days!
