The Privilege Show

Testament is making a show about feminism. He’s made theatre shows and had his poetry on Radio 4. He thinks he’s a right-on kind of guy. And then his daughter is born, and he starts to see the world through her. Maybe what he understood about equality and privilege isn’t as clear cut as he assumed.

So, he’s decided to make a show to try and discover what’s really going on. But what does he know about feminism? And what will he discover as he starts to unpick his own privileges and prejudices?

Testament is developing The Privilege Show (working title) over the next year, with the support of West Yorkshire Playhouse, Royal Exchange Manchester and The Roundhouse, London.

Expect beatboxing, spoken word, storytelling and hiphop classics as you’ve never heard them before.
