Based on fact, the story tells of a strike by the girls in a match
factory in 1888, when unions were still groping for recognition and
mass withdrawal of labour was an almost unheard-of strategy in
industrial relations. The match-cutters finally rebel against
working conditions in which young girls had their jaws rotted away
by phosphorus, and discipline was maintained by a system of
crippling fines and sanctions. A grim episode, perhaps, but not
many minutes of the play are allowed to pass before the natural
ebullience of the traditional Cockney sparrow helps to create
sparkling entertainment which warms the heart, yet retains the
essential drama of the central theme.13 women, 5 men
