What We Do
Little but Fierce is a feminist theatre collective that stages work written and directed by women, with a majority female cast, telling stories of women who have traditionally been marginalised within mainstream theatre. We produce a mix of new writing and feminist adaptions of classics, and have a particular remit to work with and tell stories of BAME, LGBT, disabled, and older women.
What’s Happening
2023
Little but Fierce recently completed a hugely successful run of our newest play BATMAN (aka Naomi's Death Show), which garnered critical acclaim with four star reviews across the board.
​
Our next project is the Royal Society of Literature-funded CRIPLIGRAPHY, which will provide free playwriting workshops and a paid showcase for disabled aspiring/emerging disabled and neurodivergent playwrights and actors.
​
We are also one of two companies to have won the In Good Co Mid-Career Commission Award, and are under commission from Derby Theatre to create a new play titled The Best Days of Your Lives, which will explore disabled people's experience of the British educational system.
The it turns out extremely friendly Bronx teenagers helped knock my handbag to the ground, albeit laughing at me, which is fair. But still the tiny thief refused to yield. He's smelled chocolate and would not give up his trophy. Alas the zipper gap was just big enough for his own body, not enough for a bag of Wal*Mart's finest Reeses' peanut butter cups.
​
Again and again we battled, until finally we managed together to open the zipper. Wallet keys and 15 lipbalms scattered, but all I could see was a fluffy tail bouncing up and down into the distance, bearing an orange bag larger than its owner.

Now, back in London, I feed the squirrels in the park next to my building, so tame they politely wait in circles around me and gentle take cashew nuts directly from my hand. One even knows how to walk on his hind legs.

Telling this story to a group of Americans recently, exclaiming at the difference between American and British squirrels, on Louisiana native remarked, "Yeah, we have some ratchet-ass squ'alls in America."

Ratchet Ass Squ'alls is my band name.
