"Cause here she comes. She's the baddest, bitchin' babe of art." 1874. Elizabeth Thompsons stuns the Royal Academy with her painting, 'Roll Call.' Five years later, she falls two votes short of becoming the first woman elected to the Academy. In between, she must shoulder the hopes and dreams of women across the country, while fighting for her place at a table full of top hats, ties and mutton-chop beards.

Reviews

Sunshyne Simon: 17Jun23:
So much promise yet was laboured, some catchy songs but the bits in between were slo long winded and boring I lost interest and stopped caring about the storyline. Thinking they need some honest feedback before they take it on tour. If it was at the fring I would have left after 30 minutes.
