The Invincibles
Amanda Whittington
The Invincibles is an uplifting, funny, and inspiring play for audiences of all ages, celebrating teamwork, determination, and the joy of sport.
Bringing together the excitement of today’s Women’s World Cup with the true story of a remarkable women’s football team from 1917, the play moves between past and present to show how courage, friendship, and belief can echo across generations. As young football fan Maya watches the Lionesses chase glory in 2023, we discover the forgotten story of the Sterling Ladies—factory workers who defied expectations during the First World War to create an unbeatable football team, later known as the Invincibles.
This is a show full of energy and humour, with imaginative staging that brings football matches to life on stage and heartfelt moments that celebrate family, community, and resilience. It’s a great choice for families, football fans, and anyone who enjoys stories about standing up for what you love—even when the odds are against you.
Above all, The Invincibles is a feel‑good celebration of unsung heroes and modern role models, reminding us that every generation builds on the victories of those who came before—and that sometimes, just believing you can play is a victory in itself. Find out more...
