Scary Little Girls is an English production hub based in London and Cornwall and a charity registered in England and Wales under charity number 1136270. Most of their work revolves around literary and matrifocal themes, as well as a number of comedy and cabaret works with predominantly female casts. Rather than working primarily a set genre or using a regular group of practitioners, the company looks to seek out artists of all ages, backgrounds and interests from multiple artistic fields. A key tenet of SLG projects is that must headline, promote or employ more women than men. SLG say that their three main objectives are: 1. To tell stories and promote characters which are little known, historically or culturally excluded, or usually told from one perspective only. 2. To actively promote the artistic work of women in all aspects of theatrical storytelling. 3. To share and disseminate the skills of artists for the benefit of both the artistic and the wider community. History Scary Little Girls was founded in 2002 by Rebecca Mordan and became an official charity in 2005 when Sharon Andrew joined as co-artistic director. Andrew left SLG in January 2017 to become a meditation teacher and founded the Cornish Meditation Centre, though she remains a creative consultant for SLG. Between 2002 and 2005, Scary Little Girls did various school workshops, a production of Dracula (2003) with a female Dracula and a production of Maria Stuart (2005). During this time, Scary Little Girls also produced Mother Mae I! Part of the resurgence of cabaret in London in the early 21st century, this piece features acts such as puppetry, musical comedy, stand up, grotesques and magic. The event is either hosted by Riot Showgrrls, Bunny Morethan or the de Plumes, and in keeping with SLG's ethos, most of the performers are women. The show later had residences at The Oak Bar in Newington Green and at the Camden Head in Angel. Theatrical productions General Scary Little Girls has mainly been active in England. Previous shows include: The Ladies' Cage (2007), which focuses on Anna Parnell and the women of the Ladies Land League. It is set in the 1890s in the English and Irish land wars of the era. The production uses research material by Professor Margaret Ward, and her previously unpublished research on Anna Parnell. In 2007, the company was funded by the Duke of Cornwall Benevolent Fund
