Welcome to the Jennie Lee Museum, Fife’s best kept secret …
Jennie Lee was born in Lochgelly, Fife in 1904, and became the youngest ever female MP for North Lanark in 1929 at the age of 24, before she could legally vote! After the death of her husband Nye Bevan the founder of the NHS she fought to protect his legacy and went on to become the first ever Minister for The Arts and founder of The Open University.
Inside an abandoned museum, the radical spirits of history never rest. Before she can tell her story, Jennie must confront the woman she became and the woman she once was. A story about fighting to be true to your ideals in a world which wants to crush them.
Jennie Lee: Tomorrow is a New Day is a play by Matthew Knights produced by Knights Theatre, supported by Creative Scotland, OnFife and The Open University in Scotland.
