✦ Synopsis

The Road to Huntsville by Stephanie Ridings is a short play about a writer researching women who fall in love with men on death row, who then finds herself crossing the line.

The play is taken from Women Centre Stage ; a collection of eight short plays, commissioned and developed as part of the Women Centre Stage Festival, that together demonstrate the range, depth and richness of women’s writing for the stage.

Selected by Sue Parrish, Artistic Director of Sphinx Theatre, these plays offer a wide variety of rewarding roles for women, and are perfect for schools, youth groups and theatre companies to perform. Other writers included in the collection include Winsome Pinnock, Timberlake Wertenbaker and April De Angelis.
