This play re-enacts the 1917 trial and imprisonment of Alice
Wheeldon, the renowned suffragist, for her alleged role in plotting
to assassinate the Prime Minister Lloyd George. It is prefaced by
an extended essay 'Rebel Networks in the First World War'. With
claustrophobia and anger, the play recounts how Wheeldon's
involvement in socialism, suffragism and the anti-war movement did
not endear her to the establishment, and in times of growing class
antagonism and war how the government needed to create a traitor.
The controversial trial became something of a cause celebre - a
show trial at the height of the First World War - based on
fabricated evidence from the criminally insane fantasist 'Alex
Gordon'. It was a travesty of justice. First published nearly
thirty years ago, this edition points readers to subsequent
research into the case and the ongoing campaign to clear the name
of Alice Wheeldon.
