A SHOW from an award-winning theatre company is set to come to Poole.

Indestructible from Proteus Theatre aims to question whether we can or should separate the art from the artist, as well as how far the ripples of consequence spread.

It focuses on Catherine Shaw, who shocked the world with her provocative performance art in the 1990s.

Catherine always called herself a feminist, but she questions how much she enabled the culture she now sees being called out through the lens of #MeToo.

She gets approached by an ambitious curator to put together an exhibition of female artists at a major new gallery, but a scandal breaks out and she is caught in the centre and she begins to question everything.

The play features uncompromising female artists, from Lee Miller to the Guerrilla Girls via Sinead O’Connor and Taylor Swift.

It asks why it is still so difficult for female artists to succeed, and why are women always the muse and never the artist.

The show will be coming to the Lighthouse, Poole, on Saturday, September 21.
