Story


The Brutish Multitude is a theatre company based in West Yorkshire. We have a new production programmed for March 2024, but like many

folk in the arts, we're short of funds. Our production is called 'Warp and Weft', two thematically related one-act plays about the struggle for the vote; the first 'Waiting For Wesley is set amid the Chartist uprising in 1842; the second, The House That Ethel Built, is about the life and work of novelist and campaigner Ethel Carnie Holdsworth.
