The Deplorables
In Bendigo in 1874, two women's teams played cricket for the very first time in Australia.
Money was raised for charity, the women were praised for their sporting endeavours and then – all hell broke loose – as the press decided that women should stay home, know their place and sit down.
Written by Christine Davey and presented by award-winning regional theatre company Skin of our Teeth Productions, this joyous, musical, and uplifting story explores this event and what it means for everyone. These glorious women have been lost to history, and it's time to bring them back to centre stage where they rightfully belong.
Come along for a tale of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things and the very ordinary men who tried to stop them.
