In a factory like this, you're part of a team. You're a family.Greenock, 1981. Faced with the threat of their factory closing, and with 240 jobs on the line, there's no way the women of the Lee Jeans factory are going down without a fight.They barricade the doors, take a stand against corporate greed and stage a sit-in that lasts for 7 long months.Developed in conversation with some of the key women involved in the strike, this new play is full of authentic details that bring this significant moment in Scottish history to life.Frances Poet's Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In is the true story of the gallus Greenock girls who fought a battle against injustice that thrust them onto the world stage.It is premiered by National Theatre Scotland and Tron Theatre, Glasgow, on tour in 2026.
