The Pageant of Great Women: In the Steps of the Suffragettes

Those of you who have come along to our Drama Queens sessions know how much fun we’ve been having exploring some of the plays in our collection, including our collection by Suffragette playwrights. We’re now expanding this programme in an exciting partnership with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Our aim is to unearth and re-evaluate the hidden biographies and living monuments of Glasgow women past and present, using Cicely Hamilton’s play A Pageant of Great Women – a theatrical and entertaining performance where women from history provide the evidence in a court case to demonstrate the energy and commitment required to survive as a woman in today’s world.

The Pageant is a lost art form and we want to bring it back and to recognise and celebrate the work of the Suffrage movement, and to involve women across Glasgow in a variety of different events, building up over the next few months to a procession and performance of the Pageant itself.
