Not heard of Mary De Morgan? Don't worry, we have to admit most of us here at ET hadn't either, but that's all about to change as we chat to Claire Parker about her show The Vegan Tigress.

Mary De Morgan was a writer, a woman of independent means, a socialist and an activist. She wrote several volumes of fairy tales, tearing up the rule book on expected outcomes for boys, girls and happy ever afters.

The Vegan Tigress tells the story of De Morgan through one of her own fairytales, reimagining the moment a formidable ghost from Mary’s past forces her to re-evaluate her own story as she finds herself on the cusp of a life-changing journey.

Lily Middleton chats to Claire about the show and why she wanted to write a show about De Morgan.

The Vegan Tigress plays at Bread and Roses Theatre from 18 February to 1 March. Further information and tickets available here.
