What Glorious Times They Had

Overview

What Glorious Times They Had Nellie McClung traces the efforts of the suffragists to win the vote in preWorld War I Manitoba. The play combines the themes of politics, prohibition and suffrage, but treats them with liberal amounts of humour, music and vitality. The result makes for a fast-moving, free-wheeling evening’s entertainment.
