The incredible story of the cup-winning Blyth Spartans Ladies and their unbeaten football team during World War 1. An exhilarating play about the selfless women footballers who worked in dangerous jobs as munitionettes at the Port of Blyth, unloading and loading shells from and for the front. Despite their daily, hard, physical work and competition from dozens of teams based on Tyneside, Wearside, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Darlington, Blyth Spartans Ladies became the best team in the North East in 1918. Sadly these heroic women have been largely forgotten...until now! These limited London shows at the Bread and Roses theatre are an out-of town run before Wor Bella transfers to the 1200-seat Newcastle Theatre Royal.
