Essex 1968. Like millions of working-class women, Rita O’Grady is trying to get her husband out of bed, the kids off to school and get herself to work at the factory on time! But life is about to change forever when it’s announced that the girls in the stitching room of Ford’s Dagenham car plant will have their pay grade dropped to ‘unskilled’.

Quickly drawing on a strength she never knew she had, Rita leads her friends in a battle against the might of Ford and the corruption of the Union who are supposed to protect them. As the girls’ inspiring journey gets bigger than anyone could have imagined, can Rita keep up the fight and the happy home she’s worked so hard for?

Funny, touching and timeless, ‘Made in Dagenham’ shows how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they stand together.

The musical is based on the 2010 film ‘Made in Dagenham’, which in turn centred around the true-life events of the Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968.
