  No better way to celebrate #InternationalWomansDay

  Absolutely loved this production at Artrix. Typical music of John Kirkpatrick well sung by all 3 cast members, told the story of this landmark struggle.

• Tony Barns

  Saw the show last night. Just wanted to say I loved it. Uplifting, warm, funny and inspirational. It put a smile on my face, which is still with me the day after

• Louise Haigh MP

  Inspiring evening watching Rouse Ye Women the story of Mary Macarthur and the Chainmakers' strike.

  I went to see the show at the Lantern Theatre in Sheffield this evening and you gave me a feedback form – so here’s what I thought:
  
  I didn’t know much about Mary Macarthur, probably just the name. I did visit Cradley Heath many years ago but I’m ashamed to say that I’d forgotten the story of what happened.
  I think the story is very relevant today, given the pressures that so many working people are under – as well as the many who aren’t employed.
  I didn’t have any particular expectations before I went to see it – I generally try not to have expectations when I go to see a show.
  I haven’t been to a Townsend Production before – but would definitely go again. I thought it was really well put together, and got across the message really powerfully, memorably – and simply, which is quite an achievement!
  I go to the theatre and live productions a lot (and sometimes, if I’m lucky, I get to perform). I value live theatre – it can be so powerful at getting meaning across, and making it memorable.
  I know that I won’t forget this show, and when I next go to Cradley Heath I’ll really know what’s it’s all about.
  I’d definitely go to see one of your productions in the future if I get the chance.
  
  THANK YOU! (and see you again, I hope)

  Were lucky enough to get return tickets for The Ragged trousered philanthropists on a weekend trip to Shrewsbury. Riveted by the performance, couldn't ever manage to read the whole book so grateful for this fantastic production. Will be looking out for Mary Macarthur and the women chainmakers. Keep up the good work.
