Botanic Dream Freedom Fund Funds League Midsummer Performance Programme Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This programme for a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Regent's Park, London, dates back to July 11th, 1910. The event was organized as a fund-raiser by the Women's Freedom League (WFL), a prominent British suffragette organization dedicated to securing women's right to vote. The WFL's commitment to social change was reflected in their innovative and unconventional approaches to raising awareness and funds for their cause. By staging a theatrical production of Shakespeare's beloved comedy, they not only provided an enjoyable evening for attendees but also used the platform to further their message of women's rights and suffrage. The programme features an elegant design, with the WFL's emblem prominently displayed, symbolizing the unity and determination of the suffragette movement. The event's schedule includes a list of the play's cast members, many of whom were likely active members of the WFL, further emphasizing the organization's involvement in the production. This historical programme offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of art, activism, and community during a pivotal time in the fight for women's suffrage. The Women's Freedom League's innovative fund-raiser at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Regent's Park stands as a testament to the resilience and creativity of the suffragette movement.
