Altrincham Garrick Playhouse
A Play by Jessica Swale
Directed by Su Mowat
"They say you don't have the capacity to be scholarsSo read everythingLearn everythingKnow the philosophers, and then think for yourselves."
A moving, comical and eye-opening story of four young women fighting for education and self-determination against the larger backdrop of women's suffrage
1896Girton College, Cambridge, the first college in Britain to admit womenThe Girton girls study ferociously and match their male peers grade for gradeYet, when the men graduate, the women leave with nothing but the stigma of being a 'blue stocking' - an unnatural, educated womanThey are denied degrees and go home unqualified and unmarriable
In Jessica Swale's play, Blue Stockings, Tess Moffat and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduateBut little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way: the distractions of love, the cruelty of the class divide or the strength of the opposition, who will do anything to stop themThe play follows them over one tumultuous academic year, in their fight to change the future of education
Blue Stockings received its professional premiere at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in August 2013
