Dangerous Daughters
The lives and loves of Christabel, Sylvia and Adela Pankhurst, the three daughters of Emmeline Pankhurst, the figurehead of Britain's radical Suffragette movement. The Pankhursts were a family divided, a family often at war. Christabel dedicated her life to the cause and let nothing, not even the pursuit of love and happiness, stand in the way of women's emancipation. By 1918 when the battle for women's suffrage had finally been won, Sylvia was estranged from the Suffragettes and from her own mother and Christabel, and Adela, the youngest, had been banished by Christabel to Australia. The musical tells the stories of these three remarkable sisters set against the First World War and other great events of the time. The story culminates with the victory of the Suffragettes and the disintegration of the Pankhurst family.

You Need Humour With A Tumour
When Annmarie, a 42-year-old mother of four, was diagnosed with a Stage IIb tumour she was determined she would not lose her love of life. Having watched her father succumb to bowel cancer a year earlier, she had no desire to follow the same treatment regime. So she went in search of something different. Refusing to be a ‘victim’, she rejected the purely medical route and met her cervical cancer head on. Her journey took her to America in search of another way to combat the tumour growing slowly – then not so slowly – within her. This is Annmarie’s story of hope and disappointment, strength and courage as she and her family deal with her diagnosis and desire to live life to the full.
Oh My, Nellie Bly
The musical tells the story of Nellie Bly, America's first female journalist. In a profession dominated by men, in the late-19thncentury, Nellie was determined not only to join the profession but to become one of its brightest lights. To get herself noticed, Nellie undertook a series of daring and outrageous stunts, including committing herself to New York's infamous insane asylum on Blackwell's Island. The subsequent articles and book she wrote about her experiences forced the authorities to radically reform the asylum system. In 1889 Nellie undertook her most famous and seemingly impossible stunt - a solo journey around the world to try to beat the eighty days taken in Jules Verne's famous novel. After many exotic adventures she returned triumphant to New York in just seventy-two days. By turns comic and tragic this is the story of a woman who opened a door previously closed to all women: the story of a brave pioneer who sacrificed love and happiness to achieve her ambition.
