1896. Girton College, Cambridge, the first college in Britain to admit women. The Girton girls study ferociously and match their male peers' grade for grade. Yet, when 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.

Tess Moffat and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. But little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way: the distractions of love, the cruelty of the class divide or the strength of the opposition, who will do anything to stop them. The play follows them over one tumultuous academic year, in their fight to change the future of education.

Every participant in the play gave their own stunning, captivating performance, transporting the audience to this turbulent time in history. Made all the more special by our Upper Sixth Form Student Izzi who accompanied the actors with her haunting melodies on the piano.

The students have worked tirelessly amongst all their other commitments to deliver this fabulous play. Thank you so much to the drama department and all the backstage helpers for the fabulous stage set, costumes and lighting.
