Sylvia

This revolutionary musical celebrates the life of Sylvia Pankhurst – feminist, activist, pacifist, socialist, rebel – and the lesser-known Pankhurst at the heart of the Suffragette movement, who changed the lives of working women and men across the world.  

Uniting dance, hip hop, funk and soul with original music by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde, Sylvia shines a light on an extraordinary period of British history.

Leading the cast at The Old Vic is the multi-award-winning singer Beverly Knight as Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader and mother of the rebellious communist feminist Sylvia.
