1874. Elizabeth Thompsons stuns the Royal Academy with her painting. Five years later, she falls two votes short of becoming the first woman elected to the academy.
In between, she must shoulder the hopes and dreams of women across the country, while fighting for her place at a table full of top hats, ties and mutton chop beards.
Performed by a cast of actor-musicians, this farcical show will break your heart and start a revolution.
