About Sylvia
Despite a life of torture, imprisonment and violence, Sylvia Pankhurst refused to surrender her relentless battle for women's rights. A legendary feminist, activist, socialist, pacifist and rebel, Sylvia established herself as a beacon of hope and power during the suffragette movement and went on to indefinitely change the lives of men and women across the world.

Sylvia is co-written by Kate Prince (who also handles book and lyrics) and Priya Parmar, with original music by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde. This modern musical masterpiece is the ultimate celebration of Pankhursts’ journey, exploring her pivotal role in The Suffragettes Movement, and how her sacrifices tore her family apart. Sylvia is a fusion of dance, hip-hop, soul and funk, which shines a reimagined torch on the heart of the fight for women's rights.
