Made in Dagenham follows Rita O’Grady and her fellow factory workers from the East End of London and their attempts to get equal pay for working women in the 1960’s. The musical is based on the movie of the same name and is about to go into production at the Adelphi Theatre in London.
Made in Dagenham is based on a true story concerning disgruntled sewing machinists led by Rita at the Ford Motor plant in London. It shines a welcome spotlight on the ensuing industrial action that had such a dramatic effect on the plight of women worldwide.
Conditions deteriorate at the car factory when the women are informed their jobs will be declassified to ‘unskilled workers’ solely on the basis of their sex. Firebrand Rita leads the women to strike against gender inequality.
What is more, their plight will not be fully recognised until they enlist the support of the entire factory. Eventually all production comes to a grinding halt when the cars run out of car seats and prevent completion.
Not only do Rita and the women have to battle the might of the Ford factory, but also the corruption endemic in the unions of the time, plus a resentful East End community and government legislation. This inspiring musical throws light on the subject of the appalling conditions of female factory workers and the lack of respect they engendered not just in the workplace but also within wider society.
