Mother of the Revolution is a new folk musical celebration of the life of a forgotten Yorkshire legend - industrialist Betty Beecroft; unearthing her untold story and those of the working communities that came after her.

This will be a show about what we share with our neighbours, what we learn from our past, what brings us together and tears us apart. The development of this project is supported by Arts Council England and Leeds Industrial Museum as part of Leeds Museums and Galleries.
