About

vessel takes the medieval practice of Anchoritism as its starting point to draw parallels and tangle across-the-centuries. Containment and Banishment, Occupation and Sovereignty:

who has agency,

who has privilege,

who is represented

who is silenced

who is reading that silence as consent.

Anchoritism - to live a life confined and defined by a locked cell housed within a church; a miniature world of morality, scrutiny and spiritual survival.

Sue MacLaine is a theatre-maker with a singularly driven voice. Winner of a Total Theatre Award for 'Innovation, Experimentation & Playing with Form (Can I Start Again Please)
