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.

Eb and Flo on the Beach
Friday 5 Sep 2025, 7:30pm
Ebenezer and Florence in: Eb and Flo on the Beach.
A poetry reading/performance with sound and music. Eb and Flo meet on The Beach of Infinite Possibilities. Two somewhat Becketian characters waiting for the tide. To come in? To go out? They’re not sure and neither are we. As they wait they gather up the poems
and songs that wash up from the unpath’d waters to the undream’d shore and try to fashion something out of them, their poetic exchanges ebbing and flowing, overlapping and tangential, cohering and refracted. Poetry in flux, rippling with magic, mythology and fable.
A musician bobbing by stops to lend a hand.
With Roger West, Lynne Nesbit, Paul Gunn
