Pot and kettle

de Cicely Mary Hamilton

'Pot and Kettle' tells the story of young Marjorie, a newly signed-up member of the Anti-Suffrage movement, whose parents are delighted at the decision she has taken, hoping that by joining, she will meet lots of respectable and well-to-do people. They are thus in shock to see her return from a rally in floods of tears. It turns out that she has been arrested for assaulting a Suffragette, Lady Susan Pengarvon. 'Pot and Kettle' was first performed at the Scala Theatre, London in November 1909.
