SUMMARY:The City For Incurable Women - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Ladies and Gentlethem – Feeling a little upset? Have you tried  hypnosis\, psychoanalysis\, smelling salts and it just doesn’t work?\nTry The City for Incurable Women! \nIt’s 1880s Paris\, and Dr Jean-Martin Charcot is studying hysteria at  the Salpêtrière Hospital. Here\, the doctors go to extraordinary  lengths to prove their theories about the four stages of madness\,  having female patients perform ‘hysteria’ to the public. \nInternational theatre-collective\, fish in a dress\, follows the thread of the history of  hysteria as the audience becomes complicit in an outrageous tale of  medical misogyny. \nBut hysteria is far from over; its social consequences continue to  extend and echo through generations. Stereotypes of ‘madwomen’  today led the company to explore the history of hysteria. \nDiscovering the hilarious absurdity and disturbing darkness of this  story\, The City for Incurable Women offers a queer perspective on a feminist history\, exploring the repercussions for all genders. \n  \nImage Credit – Ellis Buckley
