In the wake of the Epstein files, more than seventy female playwrights have transformed a former insurance building in the City of London into a space of collective witness and creative reckoning. Where media coverage lingered on powerful men and financial settlements, the event called All the Rage insists on returning the center of the story to those who were harmed. It is a reminder that art has long served as the vessel for truths that institutions fail to hold — and that rage, when shaped by craft and solidarity, can become a form of justice.
