Jane Doe goes to a party. She gets drunk. She blacks out. She is raped. Jane Doe is a participatory theatre show reflecting on rape culture in our communities. Karin McCracken leads a public reading of a rape trial script, where audience members read as witnesses and lawyers, and feed in live responses via their phones. Interwoven with frank and funny documentary footage with young people from across America and Aotearoa, Jane Doe is a revelatory and carefully crafted contemporary performance on consent, feminism and sexual empowerment. Created by Eleanor Bishop and performed by Karin McCracken, Jane Doe is a powerful call to action that has enjoyed international success with seasons in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney, and Edinburgh.

“Jane Doe is much more than a show. It is a piece of political activism.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Unquestionably should be seen by as many people as possible.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Karin McCracken is an incredibly talented performer. She is likeable without ever being cloying, relaxed without ever losing energy and dedicated to every word she says with admirable passion and care. She laughs off any brief disruptions to the planned events of the show and treats audience members, both those interacting with her and watching her in the crowd, with endless charm and good humour. It is the treatment of its subject matter that gives Jane Doe its power, but it is McCracken who gives the show its heart and soul."
