After the success of their 2018 show Spamalot, Knighton Park Amateur Operatic Society are delighted to be returning to The Little Theatre with their 2021 production of Made in Dagenham.
With Joshua J. Knott as director, Steven Duguid as Musical Director and an incredible line up of leads and ensemble; KPAOS is ready to hit the stage again!
Essex 1968. Like millions of other working women, each morning Rita O’Grady is just trying to get her husband out of bed, get the kids off to school and get 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 supposed to protect them. As the girls’ inspiring journey gets bigger than anyone could have imagined, the pressure is too much for some, but 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.
Made in Dagenham runs from Tuesday 16th November – Saturday 21st November with a matinee show on the Saturday.
Advisory: Made in Dagenham contains strong language and adult themes.
