How The Vote Was Won by Cicely Hamilton and Christopher St John, directed by Jayne Davies
A brilliant ensemble piece set in the living room of Horace and Ethel Cole in Brixton, London, on the day of a general women’s strike called by Suffragettes.

Big Fat Pig by Emily Unia, directed by Jayne Davies
