Arts and heritage colleagues in Cornwall and the South West will be interested in a brand new play called Oxygen by Natalie McGrath of Dreadnought South West whose debut is tomorrow, 19 June, inspired by the Great Suffrage Pilgrimage of 1913 from Land's End to London.
In their own words...
Imagine that fifteen women gather. They have a conversation that maps eight geographic arteries across England and Wales, like points on a compass. These arteries reach out towards a singular destination like roots forming a tree. The destination is Hyde Park. At Land’s End, a group of women start putting one foot in front of the other. For them there is no going back.
The play and episodes from it will be performed along this historic route at formal and informal venues.
Apologies for cross-posting.
