Description
The East End of London has burned with the fires of rebellion for centuries. From the Matchgirls in 1888 to the Made in Dagenham workers at Ford's in 1968, its women have fought for change. In 1928, Sara Wesker led a 12-week strike with the workers literally singing for their suppers on the picket line. In 1936 she fought at the battle of Cable Street. But did this formidable woman's passion for the cause destroy the passion for the love of her life?Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A great piece to see. Informative and entertaining - great writing and acting and well crafted. Such an interesting story about a woman who should be better known ( how unusual !) . We are stronger together - a pertinent piece for today as workers rights are still challenged and unions are growing again.

I saw this performer last year in her other show and once again she brings off a terrific performance as a bold, defiant leading lady ahead of her time. Go see it, and enjoy!!

This is a beautifully written show, about a woman who really should be better known. It's also a real tour de force of a performance from actor Lottie Walker, wonderfully underscored by pianist John. Highly recommended!
