About this Event

DID SHE PLAN TO KILL A KING…

In our court this spring, the years roll back to the trial of suffragette Eileen Casey. Was she a women’s rights campaigner driven to extremes, or an anarchist and would-be Royal assassin? Edwardian suffragettes committed outrageous and violent acts in their fight to vote. Eileen was arrested carrying explosives during George V’s visit to Nottingham. Join our re-enactment of the 1914 case – part of our Right to Vote exhibition – and judge history for yourself. Did Eileen’s cause really justify her crime?
