Pianoforte – The Story of Mary Frost
Fri 24 April at 7.30pm. Click here for tickets.
Set against the backdrop of the 1839 Newport Rising, Pianoforte brings to life the story of Mary Frost, a woman at the very heart of one of the most significant and defining uprisings in British democratic history.
While her husband John Frost led thousands of working people demanding the right to vote and fair representation, Mary, like that of many women of the time, was forced into the shadows. Yet, as Pianoforte vividly reveals, Mary’s courage, compassion, and quiet determination were central to the spirit of the Chartist movement. Though history has often focused on the male leaders, women like Mary Frost were the emotional and practical backbone of the movement, organising, supporting, and sustaining the cause.
Original music, composed by Helen Woods, underscores moments of hope, grief, and triumph, weaving music and drama together into a deeply moving theatrical experience.Her Story Theatre Company’s Pianoforte not only celebrates Newport’s proud radical heritage but also reignites conversation about the ongoing struggle for equality and justice
