About Gwenda's Garage:

Gwenda's Garage is a bold, uplifting new musical based on the true story of 3 lesbians who opened a women-run garage in 1985 Sheffield; created and produced by Out of the Archive. Faced with everyday sexism, homophobia, and the impact of Section 28, they fought to create a space for women in manual trades, inspiring the next generation. Featuring original music and a story of activism, resilience, and community, Gwenda's Garage is a powerful celebration of working-class LGBTQ+ history and the fight for equality-one spark plug at a time.
