It is 1717, at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Bitter rivals Flamstead, the Astronomer Royal, and Sir Edmund Halley map the sky trying to solve the problem of longitude. Whilst Flamstead’s gaze remains firmly on the heavens, Sir Edmund resorts to more underhand means. Sending his nephew, Sir Philip Anstey, to Flamstead’s home, he throws the household and its women into disarray.
Kevin Hood’s witty and irreverent play explores what it means to be a woman living in a man’s world.
