Description
The Invincibles by Amanda Whittington is a play that explores two generations of inspirational women and their adventures on the football pitch. Set against the backdrop of World War One, the story follows the Sterling Ladies - known as the Dagenham Invincibles - who dominated British football in 1917. A century later, an injured footballer finds solace in watching England's progress through the Women's World Cup. As the past and present collide, a new generation of women takes to the pitch, their determination and spirit echoing those of the Invincibles. This powerful play celebrates the triumphs and struggles of women who have shaped the game of football, offering a rich and inspiring story for audiences today. Premiered at Queen's Theatre Hornchurch in 2023, The Invincibles is a must-see production that will resonate with anyone who loves football, history, or the stories of ordinary people who achieve extraordinary things.
