‘Suffragettes

Paul has always been interested in history, and it was this that led him to write and direct his latest play ‘Suffragettes’ at the Titchfield Festival Theatre. It started with the publication of ‘No Man’s Land’, a set of plays about the role of women in WW1, and the simple question ‘what did the suffragettes do during the war?’ Resulting in the subsequent discovery: what we think we know about suffragettes probably isn’t true.

This exciting, new play covers the period between 1912 and the outbreak of WW1; it deals with the split within the Pankhurst family, and the escalating suffragette violence.

You can watch Paul’s recent TV interview, and get a glimpse of rehearsals.
