Teenage Irish sisters Alice and Mary, convicted of petty crimes and sentenced to journey to an unknown land, are forced to make the treacherous crossing from London to Australia in 1789. Based on true events, LADYSHIP is the harrowing story of the 25,000 women who would become the “mothers of Australia”, whether they wanted to be or not. With a contemporary alternative pop score, the story of LADYSHIP is all too familiar, whether in the 18th century or now — when given no say in their lives or the world around them women will always find their own voice.

Patrick Calhoun is the sound designer, Deb Gaouette is the props designer, Adele Rylands is the fight director, Sara Brians is the choreographer, and Michael Danek is the production stage manager.
