The Cave of Spleen is a new work by Laura Collins where four women meet in a cave to plan the ultimate act of environmental activism. But a mysterious illness squeezes the anger out of their brains, one by one.

The Cave of Spleen explores the complexities of eco-feminism, female rage and chronic pain, and asks: is the expectation for women to suppress their anger the reason our bodies are crumbling into the ocean?

This show premiered as part of Theatre Works’ 2023 season of Fresh Works.
