Jane Upton on (the) Woman: Writing Truthfully, Breaking Silence, and Changing Theatre Playwright Jane Upton has never been one to shy away from the raw and uncomfortable. With (the) Woman, her latest play co-produced by New Perspectives and Royal & Derngate, she takes an unflinching look at motherhood, identity, and the systems that shape women’s lives. As the production hits stages on a national tour, Upton reflects on the process of writing it, the challenges of bringing it to life, and what she hopes audiences will take away from the experience.

"I wanted to write something that refused to look away." Jane Upton’s (the) Woman explores motherhood, identity, and truth in a bold new UK tour for 2025.
