CHOPPED LIVER & UNIONS

"The world is changed by the women you push too far"

Meet Sara Wesker, trade unionist and radical, who led the “singing strikers of 1928”, fought at the Battle of Cable Street, inspired one of our most famous playwrights and had a scandalous, high profile love affair. Did her love of the cause cost her the love of her life? And was it worth it?

This 5-star reviewed, OffFest nominated play, which features some of the songs sung on Sara’s picket lines has sold out in New York, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and in theatres across the UK.

Suitable 12 tears and over
