As part of our Vote festival, Sos Eltis and Savannah Whaley discuss feminism and theatre across the last century – looking at the continuities, the revolutions and the inspirations.

Sos Eltis is a fellow and vice-principal of Brasenose College and her work includes Acts of Desire: women and sex on stage, 1800-1930. She is currently researching the literature and theatre of the women’s suffrage campaign. Savannah Whaley is a PhD candidate at King’s College London, currently researching the relationship between gender, performance and activism. She has previously worked with theatre companies Cardboard Citizens and Clean Break.

The talk is free but ticketed.
