Made in Dagenham – The Musical

Dagenham, 1968: Rita’s a busy mum, loving wife and hard-working Ford factory employee. But something’s very wrong. Rita and her female colleagues fi nd themselves working long hours sewing car seats for far less money than the men. And they’ve had enough.

Finding a voice she never knew she had, Rita leads the women on a trailblazing battle for equal pay, taking on the unions, Ford’s top brass and the Government. As the pressure mounts, Rita struggles to keep up the fi ght and the happy home she’s worked so hard for.

Inspired by a true story and based on the hit movie, Made in Dagenham is an uplifting musical comedy about how ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

Don’t miss the fi rst ever revival and regional premiere of this very British musical!

Based on the Woolley/Karlsen/Number 9 Motion Picture. This production is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited.

A Month of Sundays Agatha Christie’s

Partners in Crime

Bob Larbey’s funny and tender masterpiece about growing old.

In his pleasant nursing home Cooper rails against his ageing body but remains proud of not having ‘lost his marbles’. Aylott, his friend, is increasingly concerned about losing his. Wit and humour keep their worries at bay: Cooper fl irts outrageously with pretty nurse Wilson while both men fantasise about escaping to Switzerland.

But when Cooper discovers that his grandson no longer wants to see him, and Aylott’s worst fears are realised, he knows a turning point has been reached.

Is it ever enough to keep treating life as a comedy… and if it isn’t, the painful question is: where does he go from here?

This fi rst play by Bob Larbey (The Good Life, As Time Goes By, A Fine Romance) won the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy of the Year. This is the play’s fi rst major revival.

Agatha Christie’s gripping thriller follows the daring and dizzying adventures of Tommy & Tuppence through 1920s London.

Home from the War, fl at-broke and unemployed, our twenty-something heroes embark on a daring business scheme: ‘The Young Adventurers Limited’… willing to go anywhere, willing to do anything. But their fi rst assignment plunges them into more danger than they ever imagined and they quickly fi nd themselves sucked into a perilous world of political intrigue, criminal conspiracy, murder and mayhem.

This inventive new adaptation is shot through with fast-paced action, comedy, live music and a dash of romance.

★★★★ Daily Mail

★★★★ ‘A brilliant show not just for fans of Agatha Christie, but also for those who have never picked up one of her books… will send audiences out with a 1920s spring in their step’ Reviews Hub
