• Excellent! More of this please.

• Fabulous! And inspirational.

• Really brought Sylvia to life. I liked the format and the breadth of coverage - I had no idea of the extent of S.P.’s activities and talents before.

• Brilliant performance. Could hear every word. It was very humbling to hear of the struggle, life and times, sacrifices made from every class of person involved. The slides were a brilliant accompaniment.

• I liked the combination of the good acting and screen pictures of the original times, people and Sylvia’s paintings.  A very good and informative afternoon.

• I was the first woman in the North West to be head of a big mixed comprehensive school in 1974. I’ve been retired for almost 30 years.  What a pity!  You would most certainly have been working in my school.  Well done!

• Excellent.  Going away with such an even higher respect for the suffragettes and what they achieved.  I did not know that Sylvia was an Artist.

• Worth seeing and relevant today.

• Most impressed by the combination of slides and dialogue.  Amazing performance.

• Very enjoyable and engaging. Great format and very interesting performance.

• It was a fascinating account of Sylvia’s skill as an artist and her determination to improve the lives off the poor and of women. I had not realised that she was such an accomplished artist,  A wonderful production, captivating monologue and I liked the visual aids.

• Wonderful celebration of the women's achievements.

• Excellent portrayal of Sylvia and other characters mentioned in the play.

• Very engaging and informative.

• ​A warm and personal feel to Sylvia’s personality – such a free thinking and fascinating person. Also I hadn’t realised just how barbarically they were treated.
