Mary Robinson follows the rules. Raised in the church, her goal is to serve God honorably, but like many teenagers, life places obstacles in her path and shes forced to make difficult choices. Currently, the biggest decision she must make revolves around the feelings shes developed for Bobby Gardner, a hot-headed high school football star, who makes her feel things shes never felt before and makes her want to grow up a little too fast. Bobbys hot temper and unwillingness to quell his emotions serve him well on the playing field, but they do nothing to help other areas of his life. Even though hes fallen in love with a good girl with a good heart, he cant shake the demons that plague him. Soon, his burning rage lands him and everyone in his life, including Mary, at the center of a dangerous situation at the hands of someone they know. It will test their faith, their loyalties, and their ability to move forward. Find out what happens when the temptations of young adult love, the lure of bad decisions, and the pull of negative forces collide to test three teenagers. Can the trio find love and forgiveness amid so much turmoil or will their choices ruin any hope for their future?

A collection of seven of the best suffrage plays written to encourage their audiences to allow women the vote. Funny, biting, short and powerful, these plays are perfect for colleges, youth theatres and amateur dramatic societies who want to explore how an earlier generation dealt with misogyny.The astonishing women involved in the Actresses Franchise League set up their own theatre companies and engaged with the battle for the vote by writing and performing campaigning plays all over the country. They launched themselves onto the political stage with their satirical plays, sketches and monologues whilst at the same time challenging the staid conventions of the Edwardian Theatre of the day. The legacy of their inspiring work to change both theatre and society has survived in the political theatre, agit-prop and verbatim theatre we know today. Introduced and set in an historical context by Dr Susan Croft together with a chronology of suffrage drama.
