The inaugural season of In The Raw, a monthly series of staged play readings, kicks off in February with the wickedly clever and deadly funny, The Female of the Species. Entry is free for February and audiences are welcome to B.Y.O drinks and nibbles. There will be a Q&A after the reading.

About the play - Thirty years ago, Margot Mason, Pioneer of the 1970’s women’s liberation movement and fearless academic, wrote her ground-breaking work and numerous best sellers followed. Now she has writer’s block. Molly, an unannounced visitor and committed fan of Margot and her work, offers a solution – until Molly produces a gun and calmly informs Margot that she intends to kill her…

Inspired by true events, The Female of the Species was first produced by Melbourne Theatre Company in 2006.
