Blue Stockings

Love or knowledge, which would you choose? A witty and eye-opening story of four young women fighting for education and self-determination against the larger backdrop of women’s suffrage. Set in 1896 Cambridge, where graduating with degrees was a privilege reserved for men. As these feminist pioneers navigate the challenges and prejudices faced as intelligent, independent women, they also struggle with love and societal expectations. “Leave the theatre reflecting on the extent to which times have changed” – The Oxford Culture Review An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books. Written by Jessica Swale Music composed by Laura Forrest-Hay
