The story of a strike by women who worked in a match factory in the nineteenth century where 'phossy jaw' was affecting the workers, was well played by this company. This was a well cast show with some very good performances by both principals and chorus, The Director had made certain that her choreography was not too taxing and fitted well with the music.
