🎬 About the Production

This powerful new stage play is inspired by the real-life 1981 Lee Jeans factory sit-in in Greenock, when women workers fought back against factory closure and job losses.

Facing the threat of 240 jobs disappearing, the women barricaded themselves inside the factory and staged a protest that lasted seven months - becoming a defining moment in Scottish labour history.

The production combines:

• Authentic stories and voices

• Real historical events

• Themes of solidarity, resilience, and justice

• A live 1980s soundtrack

Described as:

“A true story powered by an 80s soundtrack.”
