2018 marks 100 years since women (those over 30 with property) won the right to vote in the UK.
Lancashire-based Certain Curtain Theatre Company have created an explosive new one-woman play exporing the fiery spirit and turbul;ent times of the British suffrage movement, told through the life and times of one of the most passionate and singularly dangerous women in Edwardian England - Mrs Edith Rigby.
"John Woudberg’s exciting script is full of poetic language, as well as the sharp wit and defiant spirit of a woman prepared to risk everything for what she believes in." - **** - The Scotsman
"A thrilling story of how militant British suffragists fought for the vote" - New York Theater Wire
"A very high quality of production and acting. It is beautifully written and obviously well researched. Moving - I was almost in tears." - Amnesty International
