Made in Dagenham is a musical that illustrates the battle between corporate corruption and the common people. As working mother and wife Rita O'Grady struggles to keep her children in school, her husband out of bed and food on the table in 1968 Essex, she finds out that the Ford car plant she works for his demoting the women in the sewing room to an "unskilled" pay grade, resulting in devastating pay cuts for every worker. Summoning the courage to take on automotive giants, Rita organized her friends and colleagues against Ford and their corrupt Union.
