Scotland's Year of Stories Project: A Monstrous Regiment of Women

The Garidge Theatre produced a brand new play about the life of local suffragette and journalist, Caroline Phillips, called A Monstrous Regiment of Women. It not only looked at women's place and struggles in that era, but looked briefly at the fact that there is still much to be changed. This was based on letters that exist between Caroline and the Pankhursts and their takeover of the Aberdeen movement of the Women's Social and Political Union. It used the Doric language as well as English for the Pankhursts, and was performed at the Garioch Heritage Centre, Inverurie.

This event was supported by the Year of Stories 2022 Community Stories Fund. This fund was delivered in partnership between VisitScotland and Museums Galleries Scotland with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.
