About This Book
A satirical play stages a farcical clash between military and political authorities and militant suffragists, using disguise, role reversal, and absurd measures to expose hypocrisy and panic among those in power. The action moves through an office setting and ministerial interventions as officials debate draconian responses—imprisonment, public spectacle and even shooting—while revealing cowardice, petty authoritarianism and comic self-deception. Sharp irony, physical comedy and escalating absurdity illuminate themes of gender politics, the misuse of military logic in civil matters, and the precariousness of authority when faced with organized protest.
