Suffrage Plays
Event Information
Description
As part of celebrating the anniversary of women’s suffrage, the University of Greenwich’s Drama Programme, in collaboration with Greenwich Theatre, Culture Clash, and GLYPT’s Progression Programme, will present a series of rehearsed readings of plays and writings by Suffragettes. This event brings together drama students and young performers from the community with professional directors and actors to produce an exciting range of work. Suffragettes used plays and performance to advance their cause, and their work. The plays are funny, moving and hard-hitting and deserve to be seen again. In addition there will be some contemporary writing by both professional and student playwrights on issues that affect women today.
