The Matchgirls

The remarkable true story of the Victorian scandal that sent shockwaves through Britain and changed women's lives forever.

Based on fact, this musical tells the story of a strike by the girls in a match factory in 1888, when unions were still groping for recognition and mass withdrawal of labour was an almost unheard-of strategy in industrial relations.

Despite the subject and the grim setting, the musical contains plenty of humour and upbeat songs, as the traditional Cockney spirit rises above the darkest moments!
