Peggy's speech

"Peggy's speech"
A scene from "The Women's Suffragettes" play by Alfie James
A scene from "The Women's Suffragettes" - a play which was devised and written by Alfie James as part of a community heritage and theatre project in London. The project aimed to explore the story of the women's suffragette movement in the UK - the struggles which the women faced, the impact it had on their families lives and the long-term impact it had upon our society.
In this scene Bethany Davey plays Peggy, a working class mother who has been given the opportunity to give a speech about why women should be given the right to vote.
Featuring Bethany Davey as Peggy, Derek Robey as the Gentleman at the Hen and Chicken's Theatre in London.
