Stamford Shoestring’s next production is:
BLUE STOCKINGS
by JESSICA SWALE
A pre-Christmas treat!
Don’t
miss this chance to see what promises to be a highly entertaining and thought-
provoking evening.
Shakespeare’s
Globe was packed to the rafters when Blue
Stockings was first produced in 2013. Currently it is performed by theatre
companies up and down the country and is hugely popular.
Girton
College, Cambridge, was one of the first colleges in Britain to admit women.
The
year is 1896 and Jessica Swale’s lively play tells the story of Tess Moffat and
a group of ‘first-years’ determined to win the right to a degree. Their story
is followed over one tumultuous year as they encounter the many hurdles in
their way – the class divide, misogyny, and the university opposition – not to
mention the distractions of love. Finally, the whole issue is put to the vote…
Love or
knowledge: which would you choose?
In performance at the
Stamford Arts Centre Theatre from:
Tues 3-Sat 7 December 7.45pm – tickets £10 (£8)
Box Office: 01780 763203 www.stamfordartscentre.com (An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books)
