Touring November 2026
Reynolds’ punchy, amusing and provocative writing shines a light on challenges faced by women scientists throughout history.
In The Matilda Effect, we meet three women, all called Matilda.
We visit three time zones: then, now, and still developing.
And we encounter a giant amount of mansplaining.
Matilda is a climate pioneer.
Mattie is a geneticist.
Tilly is an engineer.
But every time one of them gets close to the Big Idea, or the Big Prize, Tom, Dick and Harry are there, standing in front of her.

2026 Tour
We’re open for bookings for our November 2026 inaugural tour of The Matilda Effect. The production will be highly flexible and capable of visiting many different places – including spaces which haven’t been purposely designed for theatre. We have a particular focus on education settings.
