The Roaring Girl: A New Musical
In the winter of 2013, VPT brought Halifax you a new musical adaptation of Middleton and Dekker’s comedy, The Roaring Girl.
The Roaring Girl tells the story of the real-life character Mary Frith, or “Moll Cutpurse.” This smoking, drinking, cursing woman who wore pants and spoke her mind baffled the community of early 17th Century London.
The Roaring Girl was presented thanks to the Neptune Theatre Open Spaces program.
“Fun, funny and feminist, this new play is a roaring good time.” – The Coast
