Join us on Thursday 26th of September at 7PM as Drama on the Rise returns for a special rehearsed reading of Anna Reynolds 'Nothing on Earth.' A funny, moving play which celebrates the lives of three real-life heroines: Edwardian balloonist and parachutist Dolly Shepherd (1886–1983), suffragette Constance Lytton (1869–1923), and interwar explorer Violet Cressy-Marcks (1895–1970). Past and present intertwine as their stories collide with Jade, a 21st century woman coming to terms with the loss of her beloved grandfather while working in a care home after her career as an air steward is grounded by the pandemic. After this special rehearsed reading we will have an opportunity to speak with the playwright Anna Reynolds for a short Q&A! The play was originally commissioned by Pursued by a Bear TC and the University of Hertfordshire and performed in 2023.
