A self-taught, self-made woman, Hannah Mitchell left home aged 14 years, exchanging one exploitative situation for another. In 1906 she found herself face to face with Winston Churchill and spent time in Strangeways prison. This show celebrates one woman’s determination to take power in the face of insurmountable barriers, motivated by a desire to improve life for those around her. The Hard Way is an intimate, one-woman performance of storytelling with original song which will make you laugh and cry. Performed by Louise Jordan who brought the highly acclaimed ‘No Petticoats Here’ to libraries in 2018.
 
‘Polished professional performance.’ Audience members on ‘No Petticoats Here’ by Louise Jordan at Histon Library
