Feminist rage and decadent dreams.

The secret castle, the urban oasis, the multimedia fun palace - the bed. 
There she lies, a critic alone in pyjamas watching late-night television, dissecting the fantasies of sexual freedom while the world outside continues its endless pursuit of pleasure.

'A Room Of His Own' is a perverted comedy of manners about the world of pornography, power, and sexual politics. Its protagonist is Andrea Dworkin, the radical feminist of the 1970s, famous for her tireless attacks on the porn industry. Following a sleepless Dworkin during a night of decadence, the production interrogates the post-war dream of sexual freedom - its promises, its contradictions, its lasting grip on society. A testament to a voice who questioned the sexual fantasies that we consume.
