New Zealand's smash hit rock musical That Bloody Woman is coming to Hamilton! New Zealand’s favourite daughter, suffragist, activist and cyclist Kate Sheppard is transformed from the face on the $10 note into a feminist firebrand raising hell and rocking out.

"Kate’s back: a kick-ass role model for equality and people power. May her message continue to roll out across the country.”
- Metro Magazine

"Bursting with wit, verve and righteously rocking tunes”, That Bloody Woman presents New Zealand's founding mother like you've never seen her before; loud, proud and in your face. Leading the charge to win women the vote, Kate takes on the patriarchy, public opinion and even Prime Minister Richard 'King Dick' Seddon."

Book now for a show on 7-9 September at the Clarence Street Theatre. Tickets are selling fast!
