In this edition of Opening Night Lindsey Chapman goes to Leeds to explore the role of women, both on and off stage. She takes us behind the scenes of the West Yorkshire Playhouse's world premiere adaptation of the bestselling novel The Girl on the Train, meets a team of young women theatre makers who're putting unsung women front and centre stage, and examines how feminist politics is being played out in conventional and unconventional theatrical spaces. Producer: Cecile Wright.
