Harridan was once an insult.

A word reserved for women who spoke too loudly, wanted too much, asked too many questions, or refused to make themselves smaller.

We're rather fond of it.

Harridan produces theatre, film and live experiences that are intelligent, provocative, entertaining and unapologetically ambitious.

We're drawn to complicated characters, uncomfortable questions, sharp humour and stories that refuse easy answers. And we're equally interested in pleasure, delight and the sheer joy of gathering together to experience something extraordinary.

Stories for the curious, the bold, and anyone who’s ever been called “difficult.”
