SUMMARY:Northern Stage\, Newcastle: Red Ellen - The Story of Ellen Wilkinson MP
DESCRIPTION:“A working class woman inside the walls of Westminster? If that is not espionage\, I do not know what is.“\nA Northern Stage\, Nottingham Playhouse & Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh production\nBooking details here \n \nThis remarkable new play from Caroline Bird tells the inspiring and epic story of Ellen Wilkinson\, Labour MP\, who was forever on the right side of history\, forever on the wrong side of life. \nCaught between revolutionary and parliamentary politics\, Ellen fights with an unstoppable\, reckless energy for a better world. Running (quite literally in some cases) into the likes of Albert Einstein and Ernest Hemingway\, she battles to save Jewish refugees in Nazi Germany; campaigns for Britain to aid the fight against Franco’s Fascists in Spain; and leads 200 workers in the Jarrow Crusade\, marching from Newcastle through Nottingham and the Midlands\, all the way to London delivering a petition to reduce unemployment and poverty. She serves as a vital member of Churchill’s cabinet\, and has affairs with communist spies and government ministers. But\, despite all of this\, she still finds herself – somehow – on the outside looking in.​ \nThis is the story of Ellen Wilkinson. \nThere is more than one way to kill a revolutionary… \nPreview performances: Tue 29 – Thu 31 Mar \nPreview performances give audiences the opportunity to be one of the first to see a new show. During previews\, the show is still being developed and changes may still be made ahead of the official press night. As the show is still being developed\, tickets are a little cheaper than our regular prices. We will always try to give you the best experience no matter what show you attend but if there are a few hitches on the night then we appreciate your patience and goodwill while we polish the show. \n
