The Forgotten Women Podcasts.
Peer Productions are currently working alongside Bishopsgate Institute to
develop a new podcast series, Forgotten Women, that wants to celebrate female
British activists who have been pushed into the margins of history.
Working together with heritage partners, professional actors and playwrights and
our talented young artists from our Actor Development Programme, we are
releasing 10 podcasts over the next year, bringing to life the stories of women
whose remarkable contributions have remained unsung. You can find the podcast on
Apple Podcasts, Spotify and many other podcast providers.
Our Actors have been visiting Bishopsgate Institute and Egham Museum to
carefully research female activism across the last 150 years. Using the
information they have found we have collaborated with writers and actors to
bring the history to life. All our podcasts are recorded in front of a live
studio audience, with our team using foley sound and live music.
For more information on the project visit the website, or find us on Twitter and
Instagram.
This series has been directed and produced by our Associate Director, Rebecca
Alloway.
