The Suffragette’s Murder

Denver Center for the Performing Arts

Step into a world of intrigue, humor, and historical significance with "The Suffragette’s Murder," a captivating theatrical experience making its world premiere at the Kilstrom Theatre in Denver. Directed by the talented Margot Bordelon and penned by Sandy Rustin, known for her work on Broadway’s "The Cottage" and the acclaimed "Clue," this farcical who-done-it invites audiences into the heart of a Manhattan boarding house in 1857. As tenants prepare for a secret gathering in support of the women’s suffrage movement, a murder throws their plans into chaos. Together, they must concoct an elaborate ruse to mislead the investigating constable, leading to a story that weaves through the early American suffrage movements, the struggle for women's rights, and the political systems aiming to silence feminist voices.

This runaway audience favorite, celebrated at the 2023 Colorado New Play Summit, promises not only a thrilling plot and engaging characters but also a humorous and insightful look into a pivotal era of history. "The Suffragette’s Murder" is not just a play; it's an exploration of the resilience and ingenuity of those who fought for equality and the right to have their voices heard.

Join us at the Kilstrom Theatre for a limited run from February 7 to March 9, 2025.
