In pointing to the way in which women have been historically
represented (or left out altogether) and the reality of women's
lives, feminist performance makes the histories, lives and desires
of women visible, as this volume of plays from the 1990s aims to
illustrate. Historical focus is shared by all three plays in this
volume, as is the stylistic challenge which they offer to the
"malestream" version of history. In "Walking on Peas", Erika Bloch
takes the "hidden", unknown historical lives of women who
cross-dressed and joined the army as its subject. Foursight Theatre
has made looking at history through "the eyes of women such as Eva
Braun, Pope Joan, Mae West and Ulrike Meinhof" a key focus of their
work. Their group devised a one-act play on Mary Tudor and Queen
Elizabeth I, "Bloody Mary and the Virgin Queen". Julie Wilkinson's
"Mrs. Beeton's History of the World" fuses the "great" and the
"ordinary" by representing Mrs Beeton in juxtaposition with the
figure of her working-clas maid, Caroline.
