'Be the change that you want to see Be the change for you and me’ This revolutionary story celebrates the life of Sylvia Pankhurst – feminist, activist, pacifist, socialist, rebel – the lesser-known Pankhurst at the heart of the Suffragette movement, who changed the lives of working women and men across the world.

Following its 2018 run as a work-in-progress, Kate Prince’s Sylvia is back where it all began for its world premiere, uniting dance, hip hop, funk and soul to shine a light on a remarkable moment in history, with original music by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde.

Wasn’t sure what to expect, having only basic knowledge of the suffragette movement. I was fearful that setting this into a musical may not work. But I was totally wrong! What a spectacle, what a cast all of whom were outstanding and what great songs and great dance performances Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
