Performing women takes on a key problem in the history of drama: the 'exceptional' staging of the life of Catherine of Siena by a female actor and a female patron in 1468 Metz.

Exploring the lives and performances of these previously anonymous women, the book brings the elusive figure of the female performer to centre stage.
