We have two fully accessible toilets in the Festival Theatre Foyer (one on each side) and another in the Festival Theatre (auditorium left, adjacent with row L), plus one on each level of the Minerva Theatre. No DREAM is too BIG if you just believe in yourself. And these strong, ambitious and FANTASTICALLY GREAT women prove it. They've conquered the tallest mountains, made game-changing discoveries, stood up for women's rights and protected our beautiful, fragile planet. Pankhurst grew up in a Liverpool suburb. Her mother worked as a children’s nurse and her father had several jobs, including building cars at the local Ford factory. “In the world I grew up in, in the 80s and 90s, there weren’t that many discussions going on about feminism,” she says.

This empowering pop musical, from one of the producers of the worldwide sensation SIX, is based on the popular book by Suffragette relative Kate Pankhurst. Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World has delighted and inspired audiences across the UK, snowballing to become a hit favourite with a nation-wide following. We’re speaking during the COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference and Pankhurst’s latest in the series is about environmental awareness: Great Women who Saved the Planet. “I listened to Greta Thunberg’s speech, about ‘No more blah, blah, blah’ and thought why can’t we put her in charge? This is an urgent issue where we can’t wait for the next generation; it needs to be now, it needs to be our current leaders who do something and stop dragging their feet.” Her second book in the series, Fantastically Great Women Who Made History, was published last Thursday and features another suffragette, Flora Drummond, as well as Harriet Tubman, Boudicca and Ada Lovelace.
