Wimbledon Will Debut Play Highlighting Suffragettes' Struggle

---

Drama specially commissioned to coincide with vote centenary

The world premiere of The Rebellious Women of Wimbledon, a new play about the suffragettes by historical dramatist Beth Flintoff, is to take place in Wimbledon in October.

This specially commissioned new play, produced to coincide with the centenary of women’s right to vote, centres on Wimbledon resident Rose Lamartine Yates, and the suffragettes of South West London.

Merton-based Attic Theatre Company will bring the audience into a suffragette meeting and, with a cast of three women, a handful of props and original music, bring this incredible story vividly to life in an impassioned, unsentimental and sharp-witted tribute to the suffragette cause.

Its debut takes place in Merton Arts Space, at the back of Wimbledon Library, before it goes on tour. For a number of the performances, the audiences ‘pays what it likes’ for the show.
