Rebel Violet presents
V-Day 2026: Prescribed Existence
written & performed by Song Marshall, directed by Catherine Mieses
A one-woman show inspired by fiction and embellished with truth. Prescribed Existence embraces the power of the spoken word and the somatic experience of processing life's traumas and reclaiming herself through movement. This 30-minute show is a blistering review of limitations and expectations Black women face in the United States, where double standards and inequity abound.
Proceeds from this event will go to Panzi Foundation to support Congolese women who are survivors of sexual assault. https://panzifoundation.org/
This production is part of The Bread & Roses' V-Day 2026 week. V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against all women, girls and the earth.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
