Monstrous Regiment Theatre Company

Monstrous Regiment Theatre Company is a British feminist theatre company established in 1975. Monstrous Regiment went on to produce and perform 30 major shows, in which the main focus was on women's lives and experiences.[1] Performer-led and collectively organised, its work figures prominently in studies of feminist theatre in Britain during the 1970s and 1980s.[2] No productions have been mounted since 1993, when financial support from the Arts Council of Great Britain was discontinued.[3]
