“That Bloody Woman” is a high-energy punk-rock musical. It tells the story of Kate Sheepard, a pivotal leader in the New Zealand women’s suffrage movement, and fight to secure voting rights for women.
Written by Luke Di Somma and Gregory Cooper, the musical blends historical events with contemporary humour and a rock concert atmosphere, engaging audiences with this critical chapter of New Zealand’s history. It contextualises Sheppard’s battle within the social and political landscape of late 19 th century New Zealand, including the opposition she faced from figures like Prime Minister Richard Seddon.
Through its rock concert format, live band and dynamic ensemble, “That Bloody Woman” delivers an engaging and thought-provoking theatrical experience while celebrating the determination and legacy of Kate Sheppard.
