Inspired by the munition women of Silvertown, London during the First World War, Out Of The Cage tells the story of women s courage, dignity and hope, fired in the crucible of war. Early spring 1916, before the slaughter of the Somme, munitionettes all over London met in secret to decide the fate of thousands of fellow co-workers. Their choice was simple: stand up to the belligerent attitude of male workers and an intractable government or forever be seen as second-class citizens of the Empire. Were they dangerous and disruptive elements undermining their country at a time of war, or Inspiring visionaries of a better world prepared to fight for a fairer future?
If you would like to join us either on stage or backstage or would just like more details you can contact us here.
We perform 2-3 times a year either touring villages local to Matlock or performing at one location. We welcome people of all ages whether you are interested in acting, directing, lighting, sound, stage managing, props or front of house. Here are the comments from someone who joined recently:
"I don’t know whether the meeting is an appropriate point/time, but I did want to record somewhere how great the group is for new members such as myself. Everyone has been so welcoming, something that is certainly not the case with all groups. Knowing this might just encourage others to become involved. If you could thank everyone for me, that would be tremendous."
