Coco Kemp tells Our Ethel's story on stage!

On 30 October 2021 the Heart of Headcorn Project in Kent hosted a History Show as part of its fundraising campaign.  


As reported in the Headcorn newsletter, it ‘was clear that there was an abundance of enthusiasm from the performers. Some were more experienced thespians and others were not. But it did not matter. The idea was to entertain and it certainly did that.’  One young performer, Coco Kemp, portrayed part of Ethel Violet Baldock’s story. 


Jennifer was thrilled to be invited to watch the performance.It was moving to see the story of working class Kent maid and suffragette Ethel have her story performed on stage for the first time.

This was also a fitting tribute to Coco’s late grandmother, Penny Kemp, a pioneer in environmental and women’s rights and co-chair of the Green Party (read more in The Times)


There is footage from the History Show available to view here.
