Powerfully immersive...timely, educational and engrossing. --South West Londoner
When contented housewife Edith wanders by accident into a suffragette meeting, she has no plans for revolution. But the women she meets there will change her life forever. Increasingly concerned by the harsh treatment the protesters receive, Edith finds herself drawn ever closer to the radical center of the movement. Where does she draw the line in the fight for equality? How far will they have to go?
Beth Flintoff's play Rebellious Women is an impassioned, unsentimental and sharp-witted tribute to the suffragette cause.
