Burgess Hill Theatre Club presents: Blue Stockings by Jessica Swale

Wednesday 15 April - Saturday 18 April


1896. Girton College, Cambridge, the first in Britain to admit women. Whilst the men graduate, the women leave with nothing but the stigma of being a ‘blue stocking’ – an unnatural, educated woman. They are denied degrees, and go home unqualified and unmarriageable.

Blue Stockings follows Tess Moffat, and her fellow first years, as they fight for their right to graduate.

At Burgess Hill Theatre, Church Walk, RH15 9AS.
On Wednesday 15 April – Saturday 18 April, 7.30pm each night and an additional show at 2.30pm on Saturday.

Tickets are £15 via TicketSource but online booking fee applies, or avoid the fee by visiting the Box Office on Church Walk, which is open 10am-12pm Saturdays. Call the Box Office on 0333 666 3366 (calls charged at local rates).

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
