On Saturday, for #InternationalWomensDay Super Saturday at The Box, the tragic tale of Eulalia Page was brought to life by incredible new costume designs (by Arts University Plymouth BA (Hons) Costume Production students) and powerful new writing (by the Women Speak Volumes writing group).

There are more details about the project and the final #event on 12th April 2026 below
