Nothing on Earth: Women of Courage

A little taste of Pursued by a Bear’s 2023 production of 'Nothing on Earth' by Anna Reynolds. At the end of their world-premiere tour the original cast filmed some short extracts so that online audiences could also enjoy the theatre experience which had delighted audiences throughout Hertfordshire, London and Southwest England. Watch and meet some of the extraordinary historical Herts heroines at the heart of the play, along with central characters Jade and her Granda.

'Nothing on Earth' was performed by Sarah Agha, Lebogang Fisher, Joanna Foster, Lincoln James and Rhiannon Meades; it was directed by Rosamunde Hutt and featured music by Helen Chadwick and design by Sophia Lovell Smith Hutt, lighting by Holly Ellis, sound by Anna Short and movement by Emily Gray. The filmmaker is Grant Watson. Produced with generous support from UH Arts + Culture.
