Burn the Bra follows the story of how Betty, a working woman and wife has been pushed to her
limits. Whether that be at home or at work she finds the root of all her problems revolve around
the existence of men. After meticulously drawing up a blue print plan on how to possibly turn
men into women, she decides to pitch it to her weekly women’s book club. The ladies position
themselves as a Ponzi scheme selling ‘Rebirth for fitness and focus’ supplements, but these
supplements are far from focus and fitness enhancing, they are actually a supplement with an
extremely high percentage of oestrogen, enabling Betty’s goal of turning men into more than men,
but women. They go all around town, in attempts to spread the word, seeking out women ‘in
need’, eventually creating an epidemic. Nine months later, we see the ladies of the book club now
in a dystopian future, where the world they created was far from perfect and they are to blame.
With lines of complaining women, streets filled with chaos accompanied by the sound of
screeching from these overly emotional men, overall turmoil. They realise that a world without
men and women acknowledging each other for their strengths and weaknesses, wasn’t a world
which achieved the true meaning of feminism.

Burn the Bra is slated to hit the Festival Circuit this summer 2026.
