Summary

A lively and thought provoking historical play, set in 1896 at Girton College, previously in Hitchin, but moved to none other than Cambridge – one of the first colleges in England to admit women.  

Blending humour, romance and moments of tension, the play explores themes of equality, ambition and the cost of challenging tradition.   It highlights the courage of women who pushed against restrictive norms to claim their place in academia – and helped pave the way for future generations.

Ticket prices: £13 & £11 (concessions)
