HIDDEN HISTORIES: DEEDS NOT WORDS
‘I went to gaol a rebel but I have come out a regular terror.’ Halifax born Laura Annie Willson was twice imprisoned in 1907 for her actions in support of women’s suffrage.
During her campaigning she encountered violent assaults and threats but she was never deterred and declared, ‘If they could sentence me for thinking I’d have been sentenced for life.’
Throughout her life Laura Annie followed the suffragette motto of ‘deeds not words’. When she saw the need for change she did something about it!
Deeds not Words tells the story of the suffragette years of this truly remarkable woman; mill girl, agitator, engineer, innovator, house-builder – and MBE.
Hidden History uses theatre to bring to life the historical stories of the locations they are performed within.
