This is the story of Bella who woke up one morning and knew she had had enough.
Bella lives in a basement in Brighton. Bella is being stalked. Someone is looking at her through the drawn curtains. Someone calls her at night. Someone follows her on the street and tells her what to do with her. Women like Bella can not afford to wait. Fragile women are not made to receive blows. You have no reserves if you are Bella. You are the hunter or the prey. The killer or the victim. For even the little brittle Bella can lift a hammer. Even she can hold it in both hands to first swing it high in the air and then let it strike down …

Dirty weekend is a gasping and humorous one-act play after the cult-declared book “Dirty Weekend”. At the center are the women who, day after day, are exposed to men’s violence and sexual harassment. The women who for years have had to adapt and who have finally given up on society to protect them. Now they have had enough and decide to take matters into their own hands.
