Description
Reach across the mortal plane! A budding clairvoyant is haunted by the spirit of Victoria Woodhull, the unsung heroine of the Suffrage movement who was ultimately written out of history by her peers for “radical views” on free love, economic justice, and the fight for equality. Victoria’s extraordinary story culminates when she becomes the first woman to run for President of the United States almost 50 years before American women could vote. Help our clairvoyant bring the story of Victoria’s life into the light!

This is a fantastic solo show. Beautifully acted and bought to life by Ashley Ford. Not only the story is fascinating, introducing us to the life and adventures of a woman we have probably (unfortunately) never heard of, but the play has been so well written and the whole performance is captivating and entertaining. I can only recommend this show! Besides, the company is from the States, don't miss this precious opportunity to catch them before they are gone!

absolutely fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed every minute! Beautifully written, and through the faultless blending of historical fact, comedy and overall wonderful storytelling, this show delivers the seemingly forgotten story of a feminist pioneer, and is absolutely a must-see!
