The Cause
- Artists
- Dreadnought South West, Natalie McGrath, Josie Sutcliffe
New play inspired by an imagined meeting between two great leaders of the women’s suffrage campaign.
The Cause depicts the explosive meeting of minds when Millicent Fawcett and Emmeline Pankhurst come together at a time when campaigns for women’s rights were at their most revolutionary and embattled.
Written by playwright Natalie McGrath, and directed by Josie Sutciffe, The Cause explores the struggle, and the effects of campaigning for a cause by different methods. There was a divide between the violent direct action of the suffragettes and the peaceful constitutional means of the suffragists.
Produced by Dreadnought South West, a charity which connects individuals and communities through telling great and courageous stories about women.
July 6, Redgrave Theatre, Bristol, 7.30pm. For more info, visit dreadnoughtsouthwest.org.uk/the-cause
