MARTINA COLE’S
DANGEROUS
LADY
020 8534 0310 STRATFORDEAST.COM
Join us in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the publication
of Dangerous Lady, bestselling author Martina Cole’s
explosive first novel, with a gripping new stage adaptation.
For seventeen-year-old Maura, life in London’s underworld is just part
of being a Ryan. Although at first she doesn’t approve of her brother
Michael’s escalating criminal ambitions, Maura soon finds herself
drawn into the family business - and she is ready to make her mark.
Adapted by Patrick Prior and directed by Lisa Goldman,
Dangerous Lady is Theatre Royal Stratford East’s third
Martina Cole stage adaptation. Previous productions
have been Two Women (2010) and The Graft (2011).
No one thinks a young woman can take on the hard men of London’s
gangland, but it’s a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan...
TOUGH, CLEVER AND BEAUTIFUL
A DANGEROUS LADY!
‘More cleavage, bitching, dodgy deals, queasy
stomachs and fist-fights than a Friday night
Romford cab rank, the Theatre Royal and
Queen Martina have done it again’

#glasgowgirls
Glasgow Girls tells the true story of one of the most vocal and
powerful asylum campaigns to catch the imagination of the
media and inspire a community to unite behind its residents.
Set in Scotland in 2005, Glasgow Girls tells of what follows
after a family is ripped from their home in the middle
of the night and taken away to be deported.
Driven by a fierce sense of injustice, a group of seven schoolgirls
in a high school in Glasgow fight for the life of their friend
and for the rights of children of asylum seekers in Scotland.
They take on the Scottish Government and the Home Office
and succeed where adults and politicians failed.
Glasgow Girls will feature original songs including electronic grime
from Patricia Panther, reggae-dub from rapper MC Soom T, folk
rock from Cora Bissett and additional songs from John Kielty.
