Description

‘If they’re playing cricket, who is making the sandwiches?’ In Bendigo in 1874 two women’s teams played cricket for the very first time in Australia! Money was raised for charity, the women were praised for their sporting endeavours and then – all hell broke loose – as the press decided that women should stay home, know their place and sit down. Written by Christine Davey – this joyous, musical, and uplifting story explores this event and what it means for all of us. These glorious women have been lost to history, and it’s time to bring them back to centre stage where they rightfully belong. This is a tale of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things and the very ordinary men who tried to stop them.
