During the day when speakers were not on the main stage, there was live suffragist and suffragette theatre. Featuring the women behind 'Tea with Mrs Pankhurst' a play by New Strides Productions (http://newstrides.co.uk). "Emmeline Pankhurst and Selina Cooper took tea together many times. Yet these two suffrage leaders had not only different approaches to gaining the vote, but also different motives. Exploring the suffrage movement and the conflicts within it, this fast paced production gives great insight into Edwardian Britain and beyond" and Rise Up Women - a living theatre experience by Springboard Arts, which " is designed to enable participants to experience how it may have felt to live moments in the life of the suffragette Emily Wilding Davison and the women's suffrage campaign".
