The End is Near

Presented by Persistent Theatre Productions & Drayton Arms Theatre

A new play by Melissa Ainsworth

Three women, from three different centuries, find each other at their worst hour. Janet is accused of witchcraft in 1661 Edinburgh, Caroline is an arrested suffragette in 1911 London, and Lauren is fighting for her reproductive freedom in 2028, in America. The three women explore what has been and what is to come. One thing is certain, the end is near…or is it? This new drama dives into how women have been persecuted throughout history. Women’s rights have come so far and yet have so far to go.
