History, we are told, is written by the victors. It is rewritten by the forgetful.
History, we are told, is written by the victors. It is rewritten by the forgetful. Chopped Liver and Unions resurrects a voice that defies erasure-Sara Wesker, a woman who led the singing strikers of 1928, stood against fascists at Cable Street, and devoted herself to the Trade Union cause. Yet, behind every banner and battle cry lies a personal cost. Love, loyalty, and legacy-what endures, and what is sacrificed?This gripping, 5-star reviewed play reminds us that the world is often changed by the women we push too far.October 2026 marks the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. 2026 is also the centenary of the General Strike. It is a good time to meet Sara, to remember what she achieved and to ask... was it worth it?"historically accurate and strikingly modern" The Morning Star
