It's Not rocket science
by Cecilia Alexander
Earth is a man's world. Space shouldn't be too.
Eve always knew she belonged in the stars, but those on Earth keep bringing her down. Watch her grow older and wiser about how rocket science is the easy part, but being treated equally isn’t.
A combination of verbatim and epic theatre, It’s Not Rocket Science is inspired by interviews conducted with over twenty female aerospace professionals. Eve’s life is an amalgamation of all their stories, and their interviews are quoted both directly and indirectly within the production. Watch these real women’s stories and understand their experiences navigating a male-dominated industry.
