A NEW play by Ros Connelly, devised and directed by Kath Burlinson, devised and acted by Elizabeth Crarer, arrives in The Haymarket tonight, Wednesday, March 12.
Emily: The Making of a Militant Suffragette is a moving piece about a real woman with her own hopes, frustrations, humour and beliefs.
A year after the centenary of Emily Wilding Davison's death under the hooves of the King’s horse at the Derby, this iconic but enigmatic suffragette's life is movingly portrayed by Elizabeth Crarer.
Set in the context of the struggle for women to have the vote in the first half of the twentieth century, Emily resonates with questions that still challenge the world today: repression of public protest, democracy, militancy, torture, women’s rights and self-sacrifice.
The performance begins at 7.30pm. Tickets priced £15, concessions £10, are available from the box office on 01256 844244 or online at anvilarts.org.uk.
