Event:  Andover Musical Theatre Company: Made in Dagenham - 7.30pm - Made in Dagenham is based on the real-life events of the 1968 Ford sewing machinists strike in Dagenham, England.

Frustrated by the injustice, Rita takes a stand and leads her fellow women in a strike that eventually garners national attention. 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? This is a tale of empowerment, solidarity, and the triumph of justice in the face of adversity. Join us on a trip to Dagenham where ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they stand together.
