The Female of the Species

The play is a satire about celebrity feminists, with a plot loosely inspired by a real-life incident in 2000, when author Germaine Greer was held at gunpoint in her own home by a disturbed student.

Margot Mason is a best-selling author, but the academic and mother is struggling with her latest deadline.

Idealistic student Molly Rivers, the daughter of Margot’s biggest fan, suddenly walks into the writer’s country house and turns her life upside down.

First performed in 2006, the play is on the literature syllabus for Year 11 students in WA and Year 12 drama course in the eastern states.
