Made in Dagenham is a new musical written by Richard Bean, who previously wrote the Royal National’s phenomenal hit One Man, Two Guvnors. The show in London is based on the 2010 hit film of the same name, which in turn was based on the real events of the Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968.
The musical made its West End and world premiere on 5 November 2014 starring Gemma Arterton as Rita the leading lady, a machinist who sewed car seat covers at Ford’s Dagenham plant, who then struck out for women workers who took to the picket line in 1968 to end sexual discrimination over pay. Rita becomes an unlikely workers’ heroine, leading her colleagues in a dispute that went on to become a landmark in equal pay legislation.
