Suffragette / 20157.3193 voti

Suffragette è un intenso film drammatico che ripercorre la storia delle militanti del primissimo movimento femminista, donne costrette ad agire clandestinamente per condurre un pericoloso gioco del gatto con il topo con uno Stato sempre più brutale. In lotta per il riconoscimento del diritto di voto, sono donne che appartengono alle classi colte e benestanti e tra loro alcune lavorano, ma sono tutte costrette a constatare che la protesta pacifica non porta ad alcun risultato. Radicalizzando i loro metodi e facendo ricorso alla violenza come unica via verso il cambiamento, queste donne sono disposte a perdere tutto nella loro battaglia per l'eguaglianza: il lavoro, la famiglia, i figli e la vita. Un tempo anche Maud è stata una di queste militanti. La storia della sua lotta per la dignità è al tempo stesso struggente e di grande ispirazione.

It's dangerous, it's exhilarating, it's ground-breaking: and in 2017 the amazing story of York's suffragettes will be told for the first time. Everything is Possible is York Theatre Royal and Pilot Theatre's latest large-scale community production. The play was performed on a spectacular scale with a cast of around 150 and a choir of 80.
