Oscar winning actress, Dame Vanessa Redgrave, will be performing at St Mary’s University, Twickenham’s Exchange Theatre as part of The WOW Show with Jude Kelly.

St Mary’s Twickenham is one of four Catholic universities in England.

Dame Vanessa will give a special reading on The Wow Show, alongside a panel of four other guests and CEO & Founder of The WOW Foundation Jude Kelly.

During her career, Dame Vanessa has won an Academy Award, a Tony Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe awards, and an Olivier Award. She is one of the few performers to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting.

Dame Vanessa has also received various honorary awards, including the BAFTA Fellowship Award, the Golden Lion Honorary Award, and an induction into the American Theatre Hall of Fame. Outside of acting, she is a committed and vocal activist.

The WOW Show will see Jude and her guests explore the often exasperating and confusing journey towards gender equity, with the show promising an interactive evening of crowd sourced ideas and actions.

The WOW Foundation celebrates women and girls through festivals, events, school programmes, and more. The aim of WOW is to challenge the belief that gender equity has already been achieved, with the hopes to join the dots between people, movements, and ideas that change the world.

The show will be held on Thursday 10th October from 7:30-9:30pm. Tickets will range from £15-18.

The Exchange is a 300-seat theatre in Twickenham, leased to St Mary’s University. The Exchange is used by students at St Mary’s, as well as for community group use, and public events.
