Stories of the women’s suffrage movement in Trowbridge will be told this weekend, alongside a performance of a new one-woman musical about the era.

Wrong ‘Un, a suffragette’s story will be performed at Trowbridge Town Hall on Saturday at 7.30pm.

It tells of the adventures of Annie Wilde, a Lancashire mill girl galvanised by a rousing mixture of injustice, conviction, self-doubt and fear on her journey from schoolroom to prison cell and beyond in a musical drama that draws on class, privilege, hope and disappointment in First World War England.

In February 1918, and after several decades of protest and four years of bloody war, Parliament is poised to grant what the suffragettes have demanded and fought for – votes for all women. Has their time come at last?

“We are thrilled to welcome Red Ladder theatre company to Trowbridge to perform their new show,” Tracy Sullivan, Trowbridge Arts director said. “It is very fitting that this story be told in Trowbridge Town Hall which has its own stories about the plight of suffragettes.

“There will be an exhibition of some of those stories to be enjoyed by the audience too.”.

Tickets for this event cost £10, concessions £8 or buy four tickets or more for £8 each.
