The Ladies Football Club
A Sheffield Theatres Production By Stefano Massini Adapted by Tim Firth – Crucible
About
'We felt the love from the very first kick.'
With World War I forcing men onto the front line to fight, the women of Sheffield take their place in the factories, constructing the bombs and the bullets.
When they start kicking a football around on their lunch breaks, it soon becomes clear that it’s not just positions on a factory floor these women can fill; it’s on the football pitch too. Finding unexpected strength through their new passion and teamwork they end up playing to crowds of over fifty thousand, all the time unaware something is looming that will blow the whistle on their beautiful game.
Written by Stefano Massini(The Lehman Trilogy) and adapted by Tim Firth(Calendar Girls) this brand-new production shows that the final result is not always the one on the scoreboard at full time.
