A event held at Redgrave Theatre on Saturday 22nd April. The event starts at 14:00.
A musical comedy based on the true story of 187 women who went on strike in 1968 for equal pay, and led to the passing of the 1970 Equal Pay Act. As relevant today as it was 55 years ago!
It’s Essex 1968 and Ford Dagenham have dropped the women’s pay grade to ‘unskilled’. Drawing on a strength she never knew she had, a working mother leads her friends in a battle against the might of Ford and the corruption of the union supposed to protect them. Refusing to be second-class citizens, the women embark on a monumental journey towards equality; but will the pressure be too much?
“Sometimes in your life, you gotta stand up for what you know is right and be prepared to fight”
Funny, touching and timeless, Made in Dagenham shows how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they stand together.
Tickets for £18 available at www.tinyurl.com/bmtonstrike or from The Redgrave Theatre on 0117 315 7800.
