Blue Stockings

by Jessica Swale

Set in 1896 at Girton College, Cambridge, Blue Stockings tells the inspiring story of four young women fighting for the right to be educated at university in a society that believes a woman's place is in the home. As they pursue their academic ambitions, they face prejudice, opposition, and difficult choices that will shape their futures.

Jessica Swale's acclaimed play is a witty, moving, and powerful celebration of friendship, equality, and the determination of pioneering women whose courage helped change the course of history. Age Guidance: Recommended 12+. Parents should note that the plays contain themes of conflict, prejudice, and historical discrimination.
