BULL IN A CHINA SHOP is based on the real letters between Mary Woolley and Jeannette Marks. The couple works together, separately, and sometimes against each other to revolutionize and reform women’s education at the height of the suffrage movement. As evolving ambitions and desires strain the couple’s relationship, this fast-paced comedy with whiplash dialogue and a modern spin asks, “How do we change the world? How does the world change us? And how the hell do we grow old together? Note from the author: This is an excavation of queer history, a history that has been buried and hidden and kept from us. It’s also a queering of history, a look at past events through a contemporary gaze. Queering history entails making room for the people who have been routinely denied a place in the narrative.
