From Jillian Mannion, lead writer of Netflix’s BLOOD SEX AND ROYALTY,  comes a bold, fresh documentary about three trailblazing female impresarios who shaped London's theatreland – at a time when a woman’s place was in the home.

Emma Cons, Lilian Baylis and Dame Ninette de Valois were feminist rebels who defied the conventions of their time. They battled poverty, sexism, homophobia and bullying to establish London’s major theatre companies… Visit London’s West End today and you’re walking in the footsteps of these iconic women. And yet no one knows their names.

​This revisionist history doc blends social, feminist and LGBTQ+ issues with the liberating power of the theatre, taking viewers on an inspiring, thought-provoking and sometimes scandalous journey, from Victorian London to World War Two, to present day.
