LIONESSES 110%

The Women's Football Musical

A rehearsed reading with songs.
 

Three generations of passionate women battle for the right to play football, breaking the shackles placed on them by a hostile society. Two friends must choose between love and money if they are to triumph in the World Cup. A love affair… with football.   

A new musical based on true events set over three timelines from the First World War through to the near future with the same characters negotiating the trials and tribulations of being a woman in each era trying to survive and play the beautiful game.

Lionesses 110% illustrates in words and music the struggle of women’s football over the last 110 years.
