Stand & Deliver

The Lee Jeans Sit-in

There's still time to catch this play dramatising the events of the 1981 sit-in at the Lee Jeans factory in Greenock, touring until June 10th. Developed from conversations with the women involved, it tells the story of the seven month sit-in staged by women workers when their jobs were threatened, and features a live soundtrack of 80s hits. Details of performances and a trailer video are available here:
