Sylvia the musical

Torn between loyalty, love, and revolution, the remarkable story of Sylvia Pankhurst’s life explodes onto the stage. This is the untold story of the rebellious middle child of Emmeline Pankhurst in this irresistible hip hop, funk and soul musical that moves your feet and fires your spirit.

Whilst her mother and sister battled for women’s suffrage, Sylvia ignited a revolution for the forgotten: working women, the impoverished, the silenced. Caught between her family and her beliefs, Sylvia risked it all to bring change to millions.
