About this Event
The Invincibles - a drama by Amanda Whittington
In 2023, injured Academy footballer Maya follows England’s progress through the Women’s World Cup. The roar of the Lionesses echoes a war cry from 1917.
In her hometown, factory workers Sterling Ladies play for two whirlwind seasons and never lose a match. Known as the Invincibles, they will lead the extraordinary movement of female footballers through World War One. As Maya fears she’ll never play again, the Invincibles face their triumph fading into obscurity when the war ends.
The call of the past brings hope for the future and as the eras combine, The Invincibles celebrates the rich history of women in football.
I’m a spark, a flame, a fire. I’m alive. I’m me. I’m free.”
This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
