Gertrude Jennings (1877–1958) was a prolific playwright throughout her long life. She mainly wrote comedies which, whilst being entertaining and funny, often dealt with weighty issues such as class, suffrage and political matters - with a light touch and veneer of frivolity.

This play, as with many of her others, is in one act and would be straightforward to stage. In this episode we consider how effectively Jennings creates interesting and engaging characters whilst dismantling anti-suffrage arguments in a gentle yet convincing and funny way.
