New theatre show ‘Let Men Tremble’ gives the patriarchy the finger

Let Men Tremble
Words by Jonti Ridley

The #MeToo movement finds theatrical reincarnation in a new production.

Theatre company The Danger Ensemble is returning with their unique brand of contemporary and experimental style to present their newest show, Let Men Tremble. 

Inspired by Nathanial Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter, the performance deep dives into the conceptual themes of sin, sex and the role of women in society. Designed as a theatrical rebellion through song, dance and pure madness, it’s a show only The Danger Ensemble could do justice. The show kicks back at the patriarchy, church and theatrical oppression itself through vivid storytelling and fine-tuned production.

Lead by award-winning director and designer Steven Mitchell Wright, Let Men Tremble is set to polarise and challenge the status quo through classic American literature and contemporary Australian theatre.

You can see Let Me Tremble for yourself from Wednesday August 14 until Sunday August 25 as part of Theatre Works’ 2019 Chapter Two Season. Tickets are available through the venue site.
