Margo MacDonald

From Ontario, Canada, Margo is a multi-award winning playwright and performer who primarily creates work highlighting lost bits of queer women’s history. Her solo show, The Elephant Girls, (about an all-female gang in 1920s London), has been touring since it premiered in 2015 – including runs in London, England; Dublin, Ireland; and the renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland. To date, the show has won eleven awards.

Some of her other plays include: Shadows (about lesbian theatre maverick, Eva Le Gallienne, and her partner Josephine Hutchinson), Rap Once for Yes (Radclyffe Hall and Noel Coward holding a seance), Maupin (a cross-dressing, bisexual, swordfighter, opera singer, and duellist in 17th century France), The Persistent Stain (with Geoff McBride, about an aging Canadian punk band), and Toilet Paper for the Apocalypse (a short four-hander about gender, and art as protest).
