Cast of play about sexual harassment speak of irony as they are sexually harassed by white van men in Wakefield during a rehearsal break
The play itself is called 97%, exploring this shocking figure and how women impacted by sexual harrassment are often left voiceless.
Eve, who is one of the actors, writers and producers of 97%, had been standing on a busy street in the centre of Wakefield when the first incident happened. Eve set up Hit Like a Girl Theatre with Lucy Tranter, who has been pivotal in writing and creating the play 97%, as a response to their own lived experiences, but also as a reaction to and reflection on the horrific murders of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa - and the resulting protests.
“We were outside getting some air and there was a man walking across the other side of the street on Wood Street just shouting at us.When the cast ignored him, he persisted at first and then eventually gave up.“Point proven, absolute point proven as to why things need to change.”
