7 Strong is inspired by the true story of the first seven women to matriculate at the University of Edinburgh—known as the Edinburgh 7. These pioneering women faced fierce resistance in their fight for the right to study medicine, and their courage continues to resonate today as new generations confront their own battles against exclusion and inequality.
Told through the signature style of Paper Doll Militia, 7 Strong blends raw physicality with poetic imagery. Expect breathtaking group acrobatics that echo the strength and solidarity of the women’s bond—literally lifting each other up. Visual storytelling weaves through the piece, creating a visceral experience that is as emotionally charged as it is physically daring.
Circle Theatre with meaning & muscle. A tribute to resistance, resilience, and the power of collective support.
This show is in development with an all female all Scottish cast. . .
