The Jigsaw Murder
4th May 1962.

Sarah Isabella Cross, aged 57, is running her sweet shop when a man hits her over the head several times with large bottles in order to rob the shop.
£6.00 is stolen and the perpetrator is caught as he leaves fingerprints on the door handle where the paint is still wet.

I did this piece with Saliem and it was good, the acting was on point and a bit dramatic, but it was very interesting in that room — Shanena

Forward sister women!
Onward ever more
Bondage is behind you
Freedom is before!

"Doing a rally was the best because we created so much attention that people from the outside heard it, I also got arrested in this scene" — Esohe/Shanena/Zahra

I love the game BBB I feel sorry for Erica to repeat it over again, the PM was an amazing place to play it as well — Shanena

I love the cell because I got to boss people around and it felt good to take control for once. My aims were to scare people and make them not want to go to prison — Shanena

I like this because it is powerful - it represents our violence in the protest for the women rights — Esohe

I like this because it shows the way women were disrespected by women and men who were unsympathetic — Esohe

Planning the takeover was excellent because we all put our ideas together to make it epic — Shanena

I like this one because we were working in a team as well as finding out about women working in the first word war — Esohe

"A really creative and engaging way of involving and informing both the audience and the young people involved."

"People’s history, steps towards equality, how we got there, what we still need to do. IMPORTANT STUFF!"

"It is a more interesting and effective way of learning about history than simply looking at museum displays."

"It was wonderful to see this performance done ‘on the move’, to be able to experience the museum and to see the girls so engaged."

"Really fascinating – what has so far been discovered and what is still to be said. It really made me understand the value of capturing people’s personal experiences and memories."
