The Vegan Tigress – new play

A new play celebrates the  incredible storytelling of Victorian author Mary De Morgan. Inspired by her extraordinary fairy tales, The Vegan Tigress imagines De Morgan accidentally summoning a ghost. The spirit is the formidable mother of a lover Mary spurned many years before. The opposing worlds of free spirits and tightly-laced corsets collide as De Morgan is forced to re-evaluate her life on the eve of a life-changing journey.

The play is a celebration of the art and craft of storytelling, and one of De Morgan’s fantastical tales is woven into the drama. Playwright Claire Parker wittily shines a light on Mary and her sublime, subversive (feminist) stories.

Audience Responses: “fearless theatre in love with storytelling”, “performances are magnificent and the writing sublime”, “full of surprises, revelation and humour”

The Vegan Tigress is performed at the Bread & Roses Theatre, Clapham, London SW4 6DZ from 18 February to 1 March 2025.
