The story of Made In Dagenham
Set in 1968, this musical tells the story of the few upholstery machinists at Ford’s Dagenham plant who came out on strike for equal pay. In doing so, they took on the full might of Ford USA, the British government, the TUC, public opinion and even their own colleagues – and won!
Their story is now recognised as a key part of the story of female equality, and revolves around an ordinary housewife and machinist who inadvertently becomes the spokeswoman for the ladies, and in doing so risks the stability of her home and marriage to fight for something she passionately believes in.
The piece also highlights and reminds us, sometimes uncomfortably, about other issues of the day, such as equality of the sexes, which we now take for granted, corporal punishment in schools, sexism in the workplace, the expectations of working class children, especially girls, expectations of degree educated women in society, women in the trade unions and government, non-PC comedians and American business influence in UK and European affairs.
All this is done with an earthy – and at times now shocking – sense of humour, using language typical of the working environments of the time.
