CYC: She Bangs The Drums
Contact Young CompanyCYC: She Bangs The Drums
It’s 100 years since the Representation of the People Act (1918) passed into law, bringing with it full voting rights for men, and partial voting rights for women.
As part of this landmark year in 2018, we delved into Manchester’s rich local history – from the Suffragettes to the Chartists – exploring familiar voices, and some that you may never have heard before.
Expect comedy, plenty of politics and Manc pride, as CYC reflect on history and the possibilities for the future.
‘Cheeky, charming and incredibly poignant, this is a celebration of women everywhere, past and present.’
Manchester Evening News
‘A fierce + polished depiction of Manchester’s proud suffragette and socialist history’
