A play about loyalty and betrayal.

Follow the Colours: A Play in Two Acts

“When women have their proper place there’ll be an end of the wars you men think are so important.” 

When working-class typist Esther Grove joins the suffragettes, she discovers a strength she didn’t know she had. The campaign for votes for women gives her life new purpose, excitement and comradeship.

But not everyone approves of the “new” Esther. Despite hostility from family, friends and lover, Esther continues to fight for women’s rights. Even when her suffrage comrades fail her and abandon the struggle, she remains true to the cause.

Then the greatest betrayal of all comes from the place she least expected.
