Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In

An impassioned and heartfelt stage play telling the true story of the industrial action at the Lee Jeans factory in Greenock, Scotland, in 1981. First staged by the National Theatre Scotland and Glasgow's Tron Theatre in 2026. 'In a factory like this, you're part of a team. You're a family. Greenock, Scotland, 1981. Faced with the threat of their factory closing, and two hundred and forty jobs on the line, there's no way the workers of the Lee Jeans factory are going down without a fight. They barricade the doors, take a stand against corporate greed, and stage a sit-in that lasts for seven long months. Impassioned and heartfelt, Stand & Deliver tells the true story of the gallus Greenock girls working at the factory and the battle against injustice that thrust them onto the world stage. Frances Poet's play was first performed on a tour of Scotland in 2026, as a co-production between the National Theatre of Scotland and Glasgow's Tron Theatre, directed by Jemima Levick.
