About
"A woman who expends her energy exercising her brain does so at the expense of her vital organs, leaving her unfit for motherhood"Blue Stockings is set at the close of a century when, although the most powerful figure in the world was a queen, most women actually had fewer freedoms than ever before. We follow the fortunes of 4 fictional young girls under the tutelage of the real-life head of progressive girls' college Girton – girls who, despite their academic excellence, were denied the same opportunities as their male counterparts, and those who helped them were penalised. The first production from Headgate Young Company, with all performance and technical support delivered by young people between 16-21.
