Pulp and Other Plays by Tasha Fairbanks cover

Pulp and other Plays by Tasha Fairbanks is an anthology of plays which were written for the British group Siren Theatre Company, a lesbian theatre collective founded in 1979 by women from the punk music scene and worked with their unorthodox performance skills to challenge mainstream traditions of 'straight' acting. This anthology of three of the company’s plays brings together long overdue recognition to the company which was Britain's foremost lesbian collective in the 1980s. This collection indicated the diversity of te Siren's theater work: their radical feminist critique of heterosexuality and male violence in 'Curfew', their celebration of lesbian glamour and desire in 'Pulp' and a scathing attack on Thatcherite Britain in ' Now Wash Your Hands, Please'.
