Cygnet Company   Director Alistair Ganley

A provocative drama about women, freedom and power.
In a society where private lives become political and freedom of expression is not an option, Irene finds herself imprisoned.
As tales of her incarceration spread overseas and her growing exposure becomes a threat, she is forced to make a brutal decision.
Penelope Skinner’s (Linda/The Village Bike) 2018 play is a haunting vision of ruthless state control, tense friendships and one woman’s determination not to be broken. Meek is a tale which reflects on our own fraught times.

Cygnet Company is proud to bring this powerful new play to Exeter for the first time.
