Dreadnought South West Association

What happens when two opposing political forces meet? Not on a battlefield. Not in Parliament. Privately. Out of necessity. Out of curiosity. In an unnamed orchard. For no one else to see. What happens when those two opposing political forces are Emmeline Pankhurst and Millicent Fawcett?

In this imagined meeting. Adminst the heightened militancy. Amidst the sound of women walking. Emmeline is on the run. In hiding. A fugitive. ("I am a wolf"). Millicent is marching. Making preparations. ("It is the hive I love"). In her element. The moderate and the radical. Which is which? In private. In an unnamed orchard, where no one else can see.

Join us as we develop this new play through a series of scratch performances in the run up to this year's General Election. Creating a series of unique platforms for debate and raising up our voices.
