About this event

The untold history of Dorothy. A 19-year old British journalist who rode a bicycle to the front line of World War I to write the story of the century and ended up fighting for the rest of her life. (un)written · (un)heard is a world premiere of a new dance-theatre work from UK theatre company Ellandar & Jessica Rose McVay. It explores the story of a woman who fought for her very existence as a world of men tried to pull her apart.

Her body. Her mind. Her spirit.

Three dancers tell this story through evocative movement and physical theatre with a nuanced and atmospheric sound design.

Praise for the company's previous work:

"Meticulous choreography...brave, inventive production, unforgettable." ★★★★★ Stage Talk Magazine.

"...expressive and passionate choreography." ★★★★ The List.
