A Country Rebel

This humorous and well-crafted play for an all-female cast deals with the class divisions of Edwardian England and is set before the Old Age Pensions Act was passed in 1908. It skillfully depicts the battle of Sarah Dawkins and her mother Gran Twigden to outwit the local gentry whose attitude is paternalistic but patronizing. As their battle ensues the audience rapidly becomes drawn into this highly entertaining and socially realistic play.6 women
