TIC TOC is a musical tale of a close knit group of friends who worked together in a factory. They sang, laughed and danced together finding strength in friendship while around them the world was changing. Then came a tear in the future of that friendship. And now a reunion’s been planned... but one of them hasn’t been invited!
TIC TOC pays homage to the strength, heroism and joie de vivre of factory women – celebrating their lives in a show that’s based on their stories and reminiscences collected by Women’s Archive Wales in the oral history project Voices From the Factory Floor. A formidable female cast of Wales’ highly-respected actors transport audiences to a factory somewhere in Wales in the 1960s and 70s, telling the true stories of the factory workers of – our mothers, aunties and grandmothers – in a feel-good musical show about their inspiring fight for justice and equality.
