Blur Fire Theatre Company present
Chopped Liver & Unions
by J.J. Leppink
The East End of London has burned with the fires of rebellion for centuries. Most recently, from the Matchgirls of 1888 to the “Made in Dagenham” workers at Ford’s in Dagenham in 1968, its women have fought for change. Sara Wesker fought harder than most. Forty years after the Matchgirls and forty years before the Ford Workers, in 1928 Sara led a 12 week ground breaking strike in the garment industry. An ardent trade unionist and prominent Communist Party activist, Sara sang on the picket lines, galvanised a traditionally compliant workforce and in 1936 fought at the Battle of Cable Street. This is her story.

Celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE/VJ Day with Bawdsey RADAR Trust
Black & White Productions revisit how RDF (or RADAR as it came to be known) was developed at Orfordness & Bawdsey with a new play – OPERATION:RADAR
It’s a race against time as Boffins Robert Watson Watt and Skip Wilkins try to come up with solutions to the impossible problems of detecting aircraft and IFF (identifying friend or foe) before they succumb to the bleak conditions of Orfordness or Hitler unleashes the might of the Luftwaffe and wipes out the RAF before the flying boys have got their socks on!.But as they re establish operations at Bawdsey Manor and Churchill piles on the pressure, will Air Marshall Dowding retain his sanity long enough to be any help? And even if they do find answers – who will operate the new Chain Home Stations now all the men are being called up?
With live music and a mixture of new songs and old favorites from the period this is a chance on this 80th Anniversary year of VE/VJ Day to celebrate the amazing achievements of a small group of men and women who saved the day and were a vital part of the victory.
