Emmeline Pankhurst – Angel or Anarchist?

Written by Chris Jaeger

Starring Liz Grand

Emmeline Pankhurst is one of the most influential and well-known British women to have ever lived. She fought tirelessly for women to have the vote. She was imprisoned several times and often went on hunger strike. Having failed to make any impression on the male electorate and parliamentarians for nearly thirty years, she became a strong advocate of Direct Action. The suffragettes threw stones at politicians, set fire to letter boxes, torched buildings, chained themselves to railings, and threw themselves under horses.

Although they were eventually successful, many suffragettes suffered terribly during the fight. Emmeline had her critics. Many people believed that if the suffragettes had been less confrontational, women would have been given the vote much earlier. They saw Emmeline as someone who had hindered the fight rather than helped it. But what was the truth?

Starring Liz Grand (Previous shows ‘The Second Best Bed’, ‘Where Is Mrs, Christie?’, ‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life With Winston’ and ‘The Secret Life of Enid Blyton’) Liz brilliantly portrays this complex, courageous and visionary woman.

The Everyman Theatre Cheltenham, in association with Worcester Theatres and Malvernbard present 

WHEN VINCENT MET JOHN

at the Coach House Theatre

Vincent died in 1890, John died in 1980, both of gunshot wounds to the chest. But imagine what might have happened, had the two greatest artists of their time, met?

Vincent van Gogh was a nineteenth-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.

John Lennon was an English singer, songwriter, musician and peace activist who gained worldwide fame with The Beatles.

Around five years before their deaths both men went through profound change.

Vincent van Gogh finally renounced his religious ambitions and began to paint in earnest, and despite great arguments with antagonist Paul Gaugin created his life’s great masterworks.

John Lennon renounced sex, drugs and rock & roll and began five years seclusion as a family unit, and despite great arguments with antagonist Paul McCartney created a son, and what would be his last album.

This play takes place at their exact moment of crisis and decision, exploring love, death, art and legacy.
