In September 1981, a group of women marched from Cardiff to RAF Greenham Common to protest the siting of American cruise missiles on British soil.
What began as a ten-day walk became a 19-year occupation that changed the face of peaceful protest forever.
Women from across Britainincluding many from Cornwallleft their homes, their jobs, sometimes their families, to live in benders and tents through every weather, facing arrest, eviction and hostility, united by the belief that they could change the world.
And they did.Now, Scary Little Girls and Greenham Women Everywhere CIC invite you to an evening celebrating the extraordinary contribution Cornish women made to this iconic movement.Join us for a cabaret night filled with songs and stories from Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp.
Through verbatim theatre and music, performers including Rebecca Mordan (Artistic Director of Scary Little Girls and co-founder of the Greenham Women Everywhere archive project) alongside Cornish bards Bec Applebee and Fiona O'Cleirigh will share the tales of the peace womenin both Cornish and Englishcreating an evening of rousing performances that honours their courage, creativity and defiance.
