THEATRE
Wor Bella
produced by Wisecrack Productions
written by Ed Waugh, directed by Russell Floyd
The incredible story of the cup-winning Blyth Spartans Ladies and their unbeaten football team during World War 1. An exhilarating play about the selfless women footballers who worked in dangerous jobs as munitionettes at the Port of Blyth, unloading and loading shells from and for the front. Despite their daily, hard, physical work and competition from dozens of teams based on Tyneside, Wearside, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Darlington, Blyth Spartans Ladies became the best team in the North East in 1918. Sadly these heroic women have been largely forgotten...until now! These limited London shows at the Bread and Roses theatre are an out-of town run before Wor Bella transfers to the 1200-seat Newcastle Theatre Royal.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
