Dreadnought South West Association presents
Oxygen – A new play by Natalie McGrath
100 years ago imagine that fifteen women gather // They have a conversation that maps eight geographic arteries across England and Wales, like points on a compass // These arteries reach out towards a singular destination like roots forming a tree // The destination is Hyde Park // It’s June, 1913 and the Great Suffrage Pilgrimage begins.
A tour of a new play from Lands End to London between Thursday 20th June to 19th July 2013 // Remembering when 15 women became 1000s…
Coming to The Trinity Centre: Thursday 11th July 2013
7.30pm

"The ensemble effectively conveys the characters’ emotional resilience with astonishing delicacy, tenderness and subtlety - an unsentimental testimony to the courage of women who braved weather, hostility and sickness for their belief.
"Claire Ingleheart’s music perfectly captures the rapture and exhilaration of the dream as well as the poignancy of loss and exhaustion it demanded. Songs in which the women sing in harmony are especially moving, seeming to say, ‘We walk for the women who cannot’."
