The Deplorables

‘If they’re playing cricket, who is making the sandwiches?’

Bendigo, 1874 two women’s teams play cricket for the very first time in Australia! Money is raised for charity, 2000 spectators attend, the women are praised for their sporting endeavours and then – all hell breaks loose – as the press decides that women should stay home, know their place and sit down. They didn’t. Howzat! They came back the next year, and played another match, this time in front of five thousand spectators!

Presented by award-winning regional theatre company – Skin of our Teeth Productions – this joyous, uplifting, fabulously musical theatrical journey explores this momentous event and what it means for us here in the 21st century.
