Book: Tickets for a sensational show

This new play from Caroline Bird tells the inspiring and epic story of Ellen Wilkinson, Labour MP (Middlesbrough and Jarrow) who was caught between revolutionary and parliamentary politics. Running into Albert Einstein and Ernest Hemingway, she battles to save Jewish refugees in Nazi Germany and leads 200 workers in the Jarrow Crusade, marching from Newcastle all the way to London to deliver a petition to reduce unemployment and poverty. She serves as a vital member of Churchill’s cabinet… It’s a truly remarkable story which makes for a fantastic show. Book Red Ellen at The Northern Stage now for performances from 25th March.
