When 75-year-old Maggie decides to protest about climate change, this veteran of Greenham Common has to face her family and the law. David Morley's play stars Veronica Roberts.
Maggie is a 75 year feminist, whose memories of campaigning at Greenham Common are still fresh. But that was over 40 years ago, and attitudes to protest have changed. Veronica Roberts stars in David Morley's play, set against a backdrop of our changing laws on protest.
