Women of the world unite! A call to arms that will have you laughing your socks off!

Director: Pamela Munt

Producer: Pamela Munt

Cast: Unseen Theatre Company ensemble

John Knox (well known Protestant Reformer of the 16th Century) is turning in his grave! His view that women are "weak, pale, impatient, feeble, foolish, inconstant, variable, cruel and lacking the spirit of counsel and regiment" is about to be exposed for what it really is... monstrous!

It may have taken centuries since Knox wrote his essay entitled The first blast of the trumpet against the monstrous regiment of women, as well as the enormous satirical wit of Sir Terry Prachett, for Unseen Theatre Company to blow its own first blast of the trumpet, but here they are, ready to do battle with their own Monstrous regiment, led by - you guessed it - a girl!

Polly Perks has to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing her trousers is easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape takes more time... but nothing is going to stop her enlisting in the Borogavian Army to search for her lost brother.

The fact that there's a war and their side's coming off worse doesn't scare her. Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training.

All that the bunch of recruits has on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army, a vampire with a lust for coffee, a troll, an Igor and a readiness to fight dirty.

As they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they will need all the resources of the Monstrous regiment.
