me again and banging on about my show again honestly this is providing a welath of information and sometimes it's more beneficial to excavate from pretentious non-theatre types.

We're creating soundtracks for the half hour in the bar and space before the show starts and want misongynistic songs which cross the last 60-70years. There's obviously tons in modern R&B but we've found some Andy Williams, Cliff Richard, Alice Cooper etc. We want male only voices for this.

During the interval we need 5 songs to play which are sung by women, referring to oppression of women (eg Kate Bush - A Woman's Work)

The end is the really tough one. We don't want power ballads or anything by Whitney Houston or the spice girls but definately uplifting songs about female empowerment

Cyndi Lauper - girls just wanna have fun (I love the line about some people wanting to take a beautiful girl and hide her away then "I want to be the one that walks in the sun")

Also maybe something like 'big time Sensuality,' Bjork which is such a positive joyful song.

Also Pj Harvey 'sheela na gig' and 'dress' for oppression bit
