Suzy Homemaker

Fri 17 Jul View Venues, Dates & Times

Suzy Homemaker was originally the name of a popular mid-1960s line of miniature and functional toy household appliances (including ovens, blenders, washers and irons) which allowed girls to practise becoming ‘the perfect housewife’. 

It then started to be used as a derogatory term for any woman whose habits reflected the stereotypical domestic activities traditionally performed by women. 

Taking all of the above into consideration, it’s hardly surprising that Erica Mulkern’s acclaimed show revolves around the history and development of contemporary feminism. Blending modern dance, theatre, comedy and visual storytelling, the show focuses on the experiences of three female characters, along the way covering everything from suffragette rebellion to picture-perfect 1950s suburbia.
