The Invincibles
1917: World War One is raging in Europe. In Britain, Sterling Ladies known as the Dagenham Invincibles are playing to win. For two whirlwind seasons, they never lose a game. Yet once peace is restored, the factory girls must hang up their boots and see triumph fade into obscurity.
2023: Injured footballer Maya follows England's progress through the Women's World Cup. The world has changed, yet the roar of the Lionesses echoes the Invincibles' war-cry. Watching at home, Maya fears she'll never play again but as she loses herself in the present, she hears the call of the past and finds fresh hope for the future.
Amanda Whittington's play, 'The Invincibles,' celebrates two generations of inspirational women, and their adventures on the football pitch a century apart.
