Stitched: A new play by Ellie Swann
September 17th — 26th, 2026
New Athenaeum Theatre, The Octagon
Desdemona and Emilia are best friends. Unfortunately, their husbands are dicks.
A new play by Ellie Swann, featuring Laniet and Ellie Swann.
Presented by Moose of Fire Productions.
Take an inside look into the private friendships of women. When left alone, what do they talk about – what do they *do* all day? Best known as tragic casualties of male ambition and hubris (to describe it kindly), Desi and Emi are also people in their own rights, and their stories are waiting to be told.
Sharing their hobbies, humour, and hopes, these two women are dying to tell you that they are whole human beings, despite being defined thus far solely by their husbands.
If men’s motives and intentions have been analysed for the past 400 years, we really don’t need to bother with their names, thanks.
