In 200 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus decreed that women could no longer compete in the Gladiator Games. What happens when an empire mandates how women use their bodies? Gladiatrix brings this untold story to life through passionate vocals and gripping stage combat. Inspired by true events, this electrifying production explores the strength, sacrifice and resilience of the women left behind. Her story, lost in history.
