Hard Fought Victory
A site-specific theatre piece
Based on historical research of real-life events surrounding Women's Suffrage in Scotland.
With memorable characters, that come straight off the page, HARD FOUGHT VICTORY tells the story of four Scottish "wummen" who each did their part to help win the vote in Scotland.
International Women's Day
Commissioned by CultureNL, in celebration of the 100th year anniversary of women winning the vote in the UK, the play has been performed for International Women's Day 2019 at Summerlee Museum in Coatbridge.
North Lanarkshire schools were invited to see the show which received excellent feedback from the young audience.
