Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World: 1

Product Information

Directed by Amy Hodge, this is a high-voltage show with great charisma. The songs are full of clever wit (lyrics by Bush and Miranda Cooper) and the pop beat gets all our feet tapping (music by Cooper and Jennifer Decilveo), while there is the added headiness of strobe lights (designed by Zoe Spurr), witty choreography (by Danielle Lecointe), and a live three-piece band who sit above the stage in luminous cubicles. Emmeline (played by Frances Mayli McCann) wears a military-style tasselled outfit and performs a rap on the song “Deeds Not Words”. Sample lyrics include: “Did you hear them call women inferior? Year after year I’m growing wearier. It’s clear we don’t need their manly exteriors/It’s all hot air from their posteriors.” Not always essential criteria, but I think a quote sets it off. This is my personal preference as it can engage, create discussion and tell you something about the person.

It was only as I got older I started to question what was happening around me. Becoming a mother has also made me notice so much more about inequality.” We have taken some of the fantastic vocabulary used in the Agent Fifi section of the book and created this resource for both KS1 and KS2. We also have two sets of ladies and gents in the Festival Theatre and another two sets in the Minerva (offering a total of 63 cubicles, four of which are ambulant, and 27 urinals), so there's no shortage of places to spend a penny. She says some older boys will assume her book isn’t aimed at them. “On the other hand, it’s exciting to be an author and illustrator at a time when we’re questioning why that is.” Women and the Natural World: Historical Perspectives on Nature, Climate and Environmental Change, WESWWHN Annual Conference UPDATEAfter a hugely successful autumn premiere, the inspiring girl power musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World will return in 2022 for an extensive UK tour. This empowering stage adaptation of suffragette descendent Kate Pankhurst's award-winning book is brought to life by an incredible all-female creative team. The song Mary, Mary and Marie features Mary Secole (Lamb), Mary Anning (Christina Modestou) and Marie Curie (Elise Zavou) as superheroes, and they set Eva alight, not least because she learned about two out of them in Year One, she says. Frida Kahlo (Zavou) sings about her love of art: “Find joy first, talent will follow.” Both girls tell me afterwards that this is their favourite moment. Even my inner cynic has been banished and I’m as lit up and absorbed as they are. I glance at their mother, Mary, who has come along too, and she is rapt. Fantastically Great Women is, essentially, to Six what Pretty Little Liars was to Desperate Housewives: a weaker, lighter take on similar themes for a younger audience. I would have loved the show if I was a kid. The children in the audience seemed to be having a great time. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed myself, and I might have even felt a little emotional at the end (when Jade was comforted by Rosa Parks and Anne Frank), but I recognise that the musical’s target audience is families.

Celebrated - and often forgotten - women from history are brought to life on stage, from Rosa Parks to Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart to Marie Curie, Mary Seacole to Frida Kahlo and Jane Austen, and Pankhurst's own relative Emmeline. Inquisitive heroine Jade breaks away from her class trip to the local museum to take a peek at the Gallery of Greatness. Audiences can join Jade in meeting these incredible and inspiring women from the past: from explorers and scientists to artists and secret agents, hear the stories of some of history's independent icons who really did change the world. Head out of the main entrance towards The Foundry Pub, walk past the pub with it on your left and straight up South Street until you come to The Cross (stone monument) which indicates an intersection of four streets. Continue straight ahead up North Street. At the top of North Street is a ring road, take the pedestrian underpass to North Gate Car Park and continue through the car park to reach the Theatre on the far side. Bus Aside from Jade, who is the main lead in the show, there are four adult actors in the company and we all multi-role, so I play Emmeline Pankhurst, Agent Fifi and Jade’s teacher Miss Johnson. The other women featured are Sacagawea, Frida Kahlo, Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Mary Seacole, Gertrude Ederle, Jane Austen, Mary Anning, Anne Frank. Jade represents everyone that is living now that’s watching now and can speak to them by saying “Follow Your Dreams. If you want to achieve something then go for it”. It’s not like Six where they have like a competition – with this there’s no competitiveness.

Discover the untold stories of women who have helped protect our natural world, all the way through history. 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.

There’s a bit of all the characters in me and because, as I say, it’s an essence of these characters, all the women in the show are bad ass, there’s no denying they are all amazing and fantastic. But Emmeline Pankhurst was just fierce and to have the guts to do what she did in that time, a little bit of that embeds in you and that’s what I want to take away from this show and that’s what we want the audience to take away to, to empower them. Now, 100 years after the suffragettes won some women the vote, Pankhurst’s picture book Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World is to be celebrated at this week’s Imagine Children’s Festival at London’s Southbank Centre. The book pays tribute to Emmeline and 13 other notable women, such as Amelia Earhart, Mary Anning, Marie Curie and Rosa Parks, and is aimed at children as young as five. The life of Amelia Earhart, a courageous pilot who broke records in the air, is introduced to primary pupils in this short animated film.Your class will place the words in the context of the subject matter and look at synonyms/meanings for the words chosen.
