Sept 8-9
Not Yet Suffragette is a potent mix of feminist theatre and stand-up comedy surrounding how - not far - women’s rights have come since winning the vote.
Do women only have themselves to blame for 'breaking the internet' Kim Kardashian style? Or should Nigel Farage heed his own advice and 'Go sit in a corner’?
The play begins on the front lines of WW1 with Flora Sands - the only British woman to have officially served as a solider in the First World War. From this point the story moves forward through each decade, from the 1920’s though to present day. Not Yet Suffragette touches on issues such as the tampon tax, public breast feeding, marriage, childbirth and the gender pay gap before concluding with a musical finale based on the true story of 17 women currently serving life in jail for miscarriage in El Salvador.
The play documents women’s struggles in each decade as they juggle the stereotypes thrown at them by society, whilst trying to make their own way in the world.
