Witness exciting new company Run Like Stags’ rebellious semi-musical exploring a forgotten piece of British feminist history – follow one woman’s journey from Ipswich underdog to game-changing punk hero.
It’s 1859. Penny Farthings are everything. Big Ben is ringing out with British pride for the very first time and housewife Mary Ann is the new ‘Son’ of God. But Mrs Girling isn’t your everyday Victorian lady, she’s a booze-hocking, hat-making sinner… That is, until a fabulous man in an impressive pair of wings makes an appearance at the pub…
View Victorian Britain through a millennial lens and follow ‘Mother’ Mary’s journey from Ipswich underdog to game-changing punk hero. This rebellious semi-musical begs the big questions: What is the price of martyrdom? Can feminism and religion ever go hand in hand? Is it really OK to wear a hat indoors?
