This uplifing new musical comedy will have music by David Arnold, lyrics by Ricjard Thomas (Jerry Springer The Opera) and a book by Richard Bean (One Man Two Guvnors, England People Very Nice) so we are expecting good things. Gemma Arterton will star and the rest of the cast will be announced later.
The story is based on the true life struggle of a smal;l group of female employees at Ford's Dagenham plant to get equiality of pay and conditions in the late 1960s.
