The Bloomsbury Children’s Team THE AIM ABOUT THE BOOKS

Including comic strips, family trees, maps and more,Fantastically Great Women Artists and Their Storiesis a celebration of just some of the women whose creativity and dreams have made a mark on the world. We have aimed this resource to cater for KS1 and LKS2 classes and differentiated the questions accordingly.

This activity focuses on the section linked to Agent Fifi or otherwise known by her real name Marie Christine Chilver. No DREAM is too BIG if you just believe in yourself. And these strong, ambitious and FANTASTICALLY GREAT women prove it. They've conquered the tallest mountains, made game-changing discoveries, stood up for women's rights and protected our beautiful, fragile planet. The show itself follows the story of Jade, who is in year 6 at school, and they take a school trip to the museum. Jade wanders off to a wing that is under development and finds herself looking for an adventure. While she’s in this wing of ‘Fantastically great women throughout history’ the characters reveal themselves to her and tell their stories to Jade and help her find her way.

UK Tour Dates Announced For FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN WHO

Celebrated dramatist Chris Bush and Number 1 hit songwriter Miranda Cooper (Girls Aloud, Kylie Minogue) adapt suffragette descendent Kate Pankhurst’s award-winning picture book with music by Miranda Cooper and Jennifer Decilveo and direction by Amy Hodge. Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World is produced by the Company that brought you the international hit musical ‘SIX’. Join our inquisitive heroine Jade as she breaks away from her class to take a peek behind the scenes at the not yet open Gallery of Greatness in the local museum. Along her journey she is surprised to meet the original and incredible Wonder Women: Frida Kahlo, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Emmeline Pankhurst to name just a few. Pankhurst does a lot of work in schools, sharing her books and having conversations with young children (her books are aimed at ages 5+). “The stories you know about when you’re young plant a few seeds and show you what was and wasn’t possible in the past. It’s one part of the jigsaw that gives you positive messages about what women can do and how people change things.” Women have been responsible for many of the world's most groundbreaking scientific discoveries. These are the stories of incredible female scientists whose hard work and persistence changed our understanding of science, and transformed people's ideas of what women can do. Whilst the musical is no Six, it’s a great follow-up. It’s fun, poppy, light-hearted, and heart-warming – which is sometimes exactly what you want. The music, though not the most memorable, is aurally pleasing, and the story, though straightforward, is well-thought-out – with a fitting ending.Hearing aid user?

Handy tip: this system works best if you're sat in the centre of the auditorium so chat to our Box Office (01243 781312 or [email protected]) when booking if you'd like to use this service. Fantastically Great Women is, essentially, to Six what Pretty Little Liars was to Desperate Housewives: a weaker, lighter take on similar themes for a younger audience. I would have loved the show if I was a kid. The children in the audience seemed to be having a great time. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed myself, and I might have even felt a little emotional at the end (when Jade was comforted by Rosa Parks and Anne Frank), but I recognise that the musical’s target audience is families.

The idea was staring me in the face, but it took a while to see it,” says the illustrator and children’s author Kate Pankhurst. Surprisingly, she didn’t know she was related to the suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst until, 15 years ago, her aunt dug into the family archives and told her that Richard Pankhurst, Emmeline’s husband, is her three-times-removed first cousin.
