Six microphones and one electrifying musical score.

Meet Mary and the Hyenas, six performers who step up to the mic to transport you through the life of British writer, philosopher, and feminist icon Mary Wollstonecraft.

Be taken back in time and experience the astonishing life of a trail blazer and literary pioneer. A woman centuries ahead of her time: Raised in Beverley and known across the world!

From her passionate advocacy for women's rights, to her involvement in the French Revolution, Mary and the Hyenas captures the spirit and resilience of a woman who dared to take a stand. This is a witty, laugh out loud and searing tribute to the courage and determination of Mary’s lifelong fight for equality and justice. A plight which was continued by her own trailblazing daughter, esteemed gothic novelist Mary Shelley.

Jam packed with music and words of defiance and empowerment, join the ensemble cast on a whirlwind journey through history, sweeping us up in the birth of feminism as told through the eyes of a petticoat wearing pioneer and her friends. Join Mary and The Hyenas as they rip up the rulebook and fight for their right to be heard!
