Google Riverside Theatre CompanyAbout the show
For She's A Jolly Good Fellow! is a theatre and storytelling show by Riverside Theatre Company about Gwen Lally — a visionary, rule-breaker, leader and pioneer whose gender non-conformity challenged the societal expectations of her time. A cast of the famous and forgotten orbit around Gwen in this reimagining of her life. Described as whimsical yet sharp-edged, it portrays a world beautiful and broken, a delicate palace built on applause and dismissal. At its heart, the piece is a reclamation and tribute to a woman erased by the history she helped create. Suitable for ages 8 and over at Forest Theatre.
Why see this show?
A whimsical yet sharp tribute to a remarkable woman largely forgotten by history. Riverside Theatre Company's storytelling is vivid, generous and thought-provoking — an ideal introduction to a pioneer whose story deserves to be reclaimed.
