Chain Girls

By Simon Bolton

The Secret Garden at the Castle Bookshop, Ludlow

July 2024

Social history in a moving and inspiring play by Rooftop’s Simon Bolton which was forged from documented events and words, where the characters were brought to fiery life by the award-winng writing, amazing performances and beautiful live music and singing. And to cap it all brilliantly on our final night, we were delighted to welcome some of the women who appeared as chainmakers in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.

“Great performance, great script!”
