Australia and New Zealand 2027

Deborah Frances-White returns Aotearoa with her phenomenal new Road to Gilead Project, that has set the UK alight. The far right is rising across the world. Women’s rights and queer rights are in serious danger. We could well be on the road to some kind of dystopian Handmaid’s Tale Gilead-style future, if we aren’t vigilant. How do we find the turn off and make sure we make a U-turn? In this important new series, Deborah talks with comedians, artists, authors, academics and activists about how to take action that will actually move the dial. We need to form a joyful resistance and create a better existence, and we need to act now.

Everything you love about The Guilty Feminist but with an urgent new focus and energy.

Royal Albert Hall International Women’s Day 2027

Join us this International Women’s Day for an engaging, enlightening, and, most of all, uplifting evening put together by The Guilty Feminist’s Deborah Frances-White.

At a time when many of the freedoms women have fought for over generations face renewed challenges around the world, The Guilty Feminist will examine women’s rights and whether we could be on the ‘Road to Gilead’, the dystopian world imagined in The Handmaid’s Tale. 

Featuring special guests Olivia Colman, Indira Varma, Sindhu Vee, Jessica Hynes, Juliet Stevenson, Susan Wokoma and Bridget Christie. Alongside New York Times bestselling author and expert on religious nationalism, Katherine Stewart. Plus, Cody Dahler will join us to mansplain the manosphere.

Together, we will celebrate the progress we’ve made, consider the warnings we must pay attention to and figure out how to create the world we want to live in. But this is The Guilty Feminist, so expect plenty of laughter along the way, with an evening of stand-up, stories, song and thought-provoking conversation.
