1896 – Girton College, Cambridge, Britain’s first college to admit women.  This story of four young women during one tumultuous academic year, fighting for the right to graduate alongside their male peers, is set against the larger backdrop of women’s suffrage. Little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way; love, class division or the strength of the opposition.

“Swale’s debut play is an energetic, polemical gallop… tremendous fun, friendly in its feminism and deserves to be popular.” Manuel Harlan, timeshighereducation.com
