Summer 1888 and Eliza is angry. Angry that her family never seems to have enough.  Angry that conditions at the factory where she works are so harsh.  Angry that no one seems to care.  When Eliza speaks out, her words spark fury among the other workers and the flame of rebellion is lit.  Can one girl inspire an uprising that will change her world? 

Inspired by the match girls' strike in July 1888, this story brings to life Victorian Britain, with themes of courage, standing up for what you believe in, and family, written by Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman.

Sink your teeth into some exciting and dynamic performance work.

Bring the book to life through drama in just one day.

With a sharing performance at 3.30pm.

If a workshop you'd like to do is fully booked ring Box Office (01805 624624) to be added to the waiting list, you might be lucky! This also helps us ascertain the demand for particular workshops when programming.
