Reach across the mortal plane to meet the brazen and irrepressible Suffragette (whom you probably have never heard of) who was the First Woman to run for President of the United States in 1872 in The Ecstasy of Victoria Woodhull. Join our modern clairvoyant, Celeste, in an immersive seance where she endeavors to bring back Victoria’s spirit to learn her full story.
Conceived by wife and husband duo Ashley Ford (Performer/Producer) and Theo Salter (Writer/Producer), The Ecstasy of Victoria Woodhull was born out of the #MeToo movement and the desire to tell the story of this heroic and near forgotten American woman who rose from rags to riches – despite no formal education, and then peddled out by her snake oil salesman father as a Child Clairvoyant. She eventually became the first woman to run for President, the first woman to address Congress, and ran her own Wall Street firm and liberal newspaper.
