How to Hold a Sign

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

Equal parts sly comedy and feminist critique, How to Hold a Sign is, above all, a story of solidarity; of two women bonding and surviving in a male-dominated world. It is a love letter to working-class resilience, a comment on systemic inequities and a celebration of the power of connection.

With wit and heart, the play invites audiences to linger on the margins, look deeper and discover the complexities that lie in something as deceptively simple as a bright vest and a steady arm.

Babble Productions brings their unique brand of humour, storytelling and a touch of rebellion to the stage in this untold Aussie story.
