Description: 'Lady Geraldine's Speech' is an all-female ensemble piece, full of wonderfully eccentric Suffragette characters. The whole play is delightful, representing Suffragettes as happy, talented, intelligent and good humoured and Lady Geraldine as misguided but charming. It was first performed at the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) Women's Exhibition in the Prince's Skating Rink, Knightsbridge in May 1909.
