The Forum UK programme is our most important platform for promoting women’s leadership and for enriching each other’s lives by sharing knowledge, ideas and intellectual capital. Our programme is the hub of all our activity and the key to providing and maintaining our sense of community.
The programme incorporates the core categories: breakfasts; behind the scenes tours; briefings; dine-arounds; special interest groups and the annual events: AGM; Jean Denton lecture; Summer Cocktail party; Christmas breakfast. In addition we look to promote the international agenda and benefits of membership of IWF through participation in the IWF programme. We hope our Forum UK 2007/8 programme will encourage networking, growth and the development of Forum for the future.

Women Power and Politics
Artistic Director: Indhu Rubasingham (Forum UK Emerging Leader 2009)
Time: Sat 17 July THEN at 4pm NOW at 8pm
Sneak Preview @ YouTube Link: http://www.tricycle.co.uk/festivals/women-power-and-politics/
Join Tricycle Board Members Kay Ellen Consolver and Judy Lever to see Women, Power and Politics (Parts 1 and 2) on Saturday 17 July at The Tricycle Theatre.
Nine playwrights take a provocative and often humourous look at the issue of women and political power in the UK through history to the present day. The plays are presented in two parts – THEN and NOW, and comprise a wonderfully diverse collection of opinions, stories and perspectives.
We start at 4 pm for Part I reviewing THEN - how women in politics in Britain all began (with a dinner break) and then at 8pm for NOW - series of plays on where and why we are where we are Now. Dinner for all who come will be hosted by Kay Ellen in the delightful Italian restaurant next to the Tricycle - her treat!
Reviews:
The crack troupe of 12 actors showcases remarkable versatility. I’m tempted to say: stuff the World Cup, it’s our lionesses we should be championing.” Daily Telegraph
“Ma’ams, Mags and militants on a lively journey to power. Hilarious and moving… typically ambitious… raises serious questions about the balance of power.” The Guardian
“Sparky, spiky, humorous, wistful… directed with enormous energy by Indhu Rubasingham… there are undisputed treasures in each section. Women, Power and Politics is a terrific achievement and crucial, frightening viewing, for both sexes.” Evening Standard
“A fascinating look at why women are under-represented in our democracy. Funny, thought-provoking, perfectly played. The cast of 12 are excellent. There’s plenty to provoke, stimulate, amuse.” The Times
Cost to include programme and interval drinks: £38 Forum UK members, £40 guests.
