'A working-class woman inside the walls of Westminster? If that is
not espionage, I do not know what is.' Forever on the right side of
history, but on the wrong side of life, Labour MP Ellen Wilkinson
is caught between revolutionary and parliamentary politics as she
fights for a better world. Battling to save Jewish refugees in Nazi
Germany; campaigning for Britain to aid the fight against Franco's
Fascists in Spain; leading two hundred workers in the Jarrow
Crusade against unemployment and poverty... she pursues each cause
with a passionate, reckless conviction. And yet - despite a life
spent running into the likes of Albert Einstein and Ernest
Hemingway, serving in Churchill's cabinet, having affairs with
communist spies and government ministers - she still finds herself,
somehow, on the outside looking in. Caroline Bird's play Red Ellen
is the remarkable true story of an inspiring and brilliant woman.
It was first produced by Northern Stage, Nottingham Playhouse and
the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in 2022.
