Julie Robson is used to being overlooked. At work, at home, everywhere in between.

What happens when an ordinary woman pits herself against the forces that shape the world? What happens when she refuses to be quiet? Anne-Marie Duff is Julie in this provocative new play from Helen Edmundson, directed by Blanche McIntyre.
