We BLOODY loved writing this piece for the History Matters blog getting into all the nitty gritty parts of the process of turning history into drama and why it is so important to discuss the history of menstruation. Thank you so much for having us! 🩸✍️✨
In this History Matters blog, actor @HeatherMilsted discusses her latest project, Period Dramas, exploring periods in the past and challenging current societal taboos about menstruation. Read it here:

It’s vaginismus awareness day. If you’ve never heard of it, there is with absolute certainty someone in your life who has or has had it. In a talent scheme I’m in with 22 women, 4 of us have had it.
Here I was on @bbcwomanshour earlier this year talking about it 🧵
Over the moon that we made the shortlist for the incredible @situpawards who recognise social impact theatre at the #EdFringe 💜
I cannot thank you enough for all your support & here’s to continuing to bust open the menstrual taboo 💪🏻🩸
Stay tuned for what we get up to next…

At the Half Price Hut every day this week! That's £4!? And a free creme egg? I'd let you do the math, but I've already done it, and it's a great deal 😇
Thank you so much for coming it was amazing to have you 😍
We always like to support others who aim to break the #taboo of #periods 🩸
So some of our team headed to the @edfringe last week to learn about the history of periods from @perioddramass in her period cabaret fighting to end #PeriodStigma
We had a bloody good time!
What a way to end the #edfringe - an actual dream come true to make the sold out board for our final show 😍
Its been a blast, but for now I’m just going to ride the high, say some thank yous and have a sleep on the train…
And to all those that boosted me on every day when I was blooming knackered @rache_ham @Kristin_Maccas @Kietonsb
I don’t think I’ve ever felt this tired so I’m sure I’ve forgotten many of the people I need to thank. Please forgive me & know I really do love & appreciate you 💜
