This sounds like it might be a good one.

Riot, Rebellion & Bloody Insurrection – A Musical Comedy by the Red Ladder Theatre Company
with live music from CHUMBAWAMBA
Friday 8 January 2010
Civic Theatre Oswaldtwistle 7.30pm
Tickets £10.00/£8.00 con
written by Dom Grace & Boff Whalley

December 1825. England is in the grip of a harsh winter, its army is fighting colonial battles abroad, and hunger and poverty are rife. Thousands are thrown out of work while the landed, property-owning few become indecently rich.
Sound familiar?

See the story of sassy Luddite rebel Elsie Proud as she wages war against the ruthless rags-to-riches Boss Ernest Hardgristle and career climbing politician, Robert Catchpenny. Experience a riotous mix of theatre and music, banter and action, this show is for an audience looking for a world beyond TV Talent Contests and multi-millionaires taking multi-million pound pensions in this winter of recession.

Come and have a laugh as Red Ladder and Chumbawamba get together to sing, dance, cajole, poke fun and point fingers, all against a backdrop of our nation's radical past.
Suitable for 14+ and adults.
