Pizzey - The Revolution

About Pizzey - The Revolution

”Pizzey - The Revolution” is a drama about the founding of the world’s first refuge for women. The play is set in Chiswick, West London in the 1970s: Erin Pizzey is an average housewife, looking ofter small children: she has the idea of opening a drop-in centre where other young mothers can get together for a chat and a coffee - but she little knew what a can of worms she was opening! Soon, women who were victims of domestic violence began to come in looking for a safe refuge, and Erin would never turn them away, so as a result she was continually battling with the authorities because of the incredible overcrowding of the refuge. She had well over 100 women staying there, with their children, in a house certified for a maximum of 35. Attacked from all sides, Erin battled on until finally the Greater London Council agreed to establish refuges throughout London. The play is poignant, at times funny, but always engaging as one woman’s battle against the odds to do what is right.
