A survivor of domestic abuse has written a play exploring the realities of women who suffer abuse by their husband or partner.
Irene Stuart wrote ‘No Way Out’ six years ago as a means to get messages out to women that there's a way out of an abusive relationship despite the hurdles they can face. The play faced setbacks due to illness and other projects and now it's ready for the stage.
Due to a rise in domestic abuse calls to police and support agencies during Covid-19 lockdowns and England's run to the Euro 2020 final, 2021 Irene was given a new impetus to get the play performed. The play is part of the six-day Leverhulme Drama Festival at the Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight - from April 4 until April 9.
