Summary

Heroism is danger and risk, and frankly, until now, it’s been male.

One evening, a group of women gather in a half-built structure on a moorland hill. Is it a chance to have a drink with friends? Is it a book club discussing famous heroines? Or is it a revolution?

Questioning the lengths people should go in the name of a cause, Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Winter Hill premiered at the Octagon Theatre, Bolton, in May 2017.
