After the huge success of the award-winning The Great Train Robbery, Scratchworks returns to Take Art with the next instalment of their historical comedy trilogy, WOMANS (Like Romans, but with a ‘W). Packed full of physical comedy, clowning and original music, WOMANS is a family-friendly adventure of the first female resistance.

It’s 44BC, Ancient Rome. Our hero, Leta has been declared a traitor by the Roman Senate. She is given a punishment worse than death “Damnatio Memoriae” – to be erased from history. Whilst noble Gladiators and infamous Emperors around her are becoming legends, Leta’s name will be scratched out and forgotten forever. So, with the help from some unexpected muses, she decides
to rebel against the Republic. Join Leta’s determined journey to reclaim her place in the history books, from crashing the Colosseum to freeing the enslaved, she will go to the ends of the empire to make her mark. Suitable for ages 8+.
