About the show
Rebellious Women is a production from King's Company that brings together fierce female voices through the real life Suffragettes. The play explores resistance against patriarchy, power and imposed silence, using sharp humour, raw emotion, physical storytelling and moments of intimacy. Celebrating solidarity, defiance and the cost of speaking out, the show asks what it means to choose freedom in a world determined to control women's bodies, voices and futures — and why rebellion, joy and collective courage still matter today. Runs 55 minutes at Lime Studio. Age guidance 12+.
Why see this show?
A passionate and physically inventive production that brings the Suffragette story to life with real urgency. The writing balances sharp humour with raw emotion, making it as relevant as it is rousing.
