IN CELEBRATION OF THE TUC CONGRESS IN BRIGHTON THIS WEEK!
The story of Sara Wesker - pioneering trade unionist, feminist and campaigner - and Aunt of Arnold Wesker
History, we are told, is written by the victors. More often, it is rewritten by the forgetful.
Chopped Liver and Unions resurrects a voice that defies erasure—Sara Wesker, a woman who led the singing strikers of 1928, stood against fascists at Cable Street, and devoted herself to the Trade Union cause. Yet, behind every banner and battle cry lies a personal cost. Love, loyalty, and legacy—what endures, and what is sacrificed?
Set against the global tremors of 1956 this gripping, 5-star, OffFest-nominated play reminds us that the world is often changed by the women pushed too far. A sell-out success from New York to Edinburgh, now at Sidmouth.
See it. Remember her. Ask yourself: was it worth it?
