The story

Fight Like a Girl is a dynamic collection of monologues that brings to life the fierce, funny, and fearless voices of women throughout history and across the world. Crafted by an ensemble of contemporary playwrights, these vivid first-person pieces spotlight rebels, pioneers, outsiders, and changemakers—from scientists and suffragists to athletes, artists, warriors, and whistleblowers. Each woman shares the moment she refused to back down.

This theatrical mosaic can be performed with a flexible cast and minimal staging, making it ideal for ensemble-driven productions, festivals, and educational settings. Whether portraying well-known icons or overlooked heroines, each monologue invites audiences to witness the fire behind the fight—and to carry it forward.

Producing it

CastWorks with a single actor, and the ensemble can grow as large as you like. Written for an all-female cast. You can change lines, roles and genders to fit your students.
SetSame as the full-length file.
TechProjections introduce each monologue, though simple title cards work too. Plan for a layered soundscape, rolling furniture pieces, many hand props, and period costumes spanning centuries.
For your scene-stealersEvery role is a self-contained solo monologue, so up to 34 performers each get a spotlight, framed by ensemble moments at the open, Act One close and finale.
