Woodhouse&Roderick Presents
In His Words
by Heather Woodhouse, directed by TJ Roderick
‘I’m just taking a quick holiday into the past. I’m still all yours.’
What if your ex wrote a play about you? Would you demand your own say? Or would you let them scratch their side of the story into history forever?
When Esther gets the lead in a piece of new theatre, she is sure the play is about her… written by her ex. Despite her girlfriend’s objections, she insists that taking the role will be an exercise in autonomy and self-discovery. Obsession rears its head, however, and the rabbit warren of the past begins to twist and turn around them both.
A clock sticks. A bloody hand reaches from the dark. Waves crash against a cave by the sea. Reality slips from their grasps as the play launches into absurd action and memories, dreams, past and present tangle themselves into something new.

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.
