An Evening of Music, History and Activism at Alnwick Playhouse

Featuring music and songs by singer-songwriter Katie Doherty.

Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Josephine Butler (1828-1906). Josephine, born in Millfield, Northumberland in 1828, became a significant Victorian social reformer and advocate for the rights of women.

Her story is at the centre of a new musical commissioned by November Club and written by singer – songwriter Katie Doherty, featuring the voices and contributions of local women. Accompanied by professional musicians, Katie will perform songs from the show. The Alnwick Playhouse Community Choir will also add their voices to the experience.

The event also includes a panel discussion led by Karen Langdon, Vice Principal of the Josephine Butler College, Durham University to discuss and explore today’s issues of activism and gender equality.
