Every year around christmas time me and my husband go for a night out for a nice meal and to the theatre
last night we went to the Adelphi theatre to see Made in Dagenham , we have seen the film , actually we was both extra's in the film along with my son , but that's another story !
The script and the songs are excellent you can not help but sit there tapping your feet swaying from side to side with a massive grin on your face its easy to say i loved it !
Screen star Gemma Arterton plays a powerful punchy Rita O’Grady a machine operator in the ford factory fighting for equal pay for women , and she shines on the stage her performance was flawless , the show hosts some great characters the singing dancing pipe smoking Howard Wilson that makes you laugh out loud , Eddie, Rita's husband who is left to look after the kids and run the house but does not cope very well ,Labour bigwig Barbara Castle , and Beryl the all swearing pint drinking Essex girl who is simply hilarious
you really get the feel for their fight and even tho you know the outcome you are willing them on from the start , so if you're considering going to the theatre and unsure what to see i would thoroughly recommend it for a good night out, the ending was brilliant when they win their fight and everyone stands up and puts their hands up to vote for them leaves you jumping to your feet throwing your hand in the air and getting carried along on their triumph , well it did me anyway !
