Preston Domestic Violence Services (PDVS) commemorates its 30th Anniversary this year, marking three decades of dedicated service and support for victims of domestic abuse in the Preston area.
In celebration, PDVS are holding an exclusive performance of “Lady in Red” on the 20 June. Hosted by Preston’s very own Certain Curtain Theatre Company.
Lady in Red follows Rose, a woman in a red dress, who awakes to find that she has no memory of who or where she is. As her memory gradually returns, a dark and violent picture emerges. Fearing for her life Rose begins to pack but will she escape, before her attacker returns?

“Lady in Red “combines superb dialogue, a compelling plot, inspired performance and evocative colours to create an unforgettable experience – a journey through one woman’s attempts to leave an abusive relationship”.
Performed by Certain Curtain Theatre Company – who themselves recently marked 35 years of operating in Preston and are the city’s longest-running theatre group – the show has won critical acclaim during the years it has been performed by Claire Moore and team.
