  The Ladies 

The Ladies was the first play written by Rebecca Russell and the impetus behind the formation of Tidemark Theatre. Co-written with Jenny Wafer, The Ladies consists of three twenty minute scenes set inside a ladies loo.

In the first scene, a faded fitness guru is caught escaping from the WI luncheon at which she is guest speaker, the second scene is set during a mother and toddler group session and the third scene at a youth club New Years Eve disco. Over the three scenes, the actresses cover an age range of 16 to 60. Their transition between characters is covered by the token male - cleaning the toilets!

The Ladies won several awards at the Pump House Theatre Festival in Watford and went on to it's Fringe Premiere at the Gilded Balloon in 1996 where it enjoyed critical acclaim and a sell-out run.

The Ladies was directed by Jon Russell and the actresses at the Fringe were Rebecca Russell and Kate Russell.
