Britain's What's On Event Guide
Blue Stockings
1896. Girton College, Cambridge, the first college in Britain to admit women. The Girton girls study ferociously and match their male peers grade for grade. Yet, when the men graduate, the women leave with nothing but the stigma of being a ‘blue stocking’ - an unnatural, educated woman. They are denied degrees and go home unqualified and unmarriagable.
In Jessica Swale’s debut play, Blue Stockings, performed by the Young Oxted Players, Tess Moffat and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. But little do they anticipate the hurdle in their way: the distractions of live, the cruelty of the class divide or the strength of the opposition, who will do anything to stop them. The play follows them over one tumultuous academic year, in their fight to change the future of education.
Tickets for the show, which is on 13th – 15th March at 7.00pm with a 2.00pm matinee on the Saturday, cost just £13.00 and are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk
