Gwenda’s Garage was founded in 1985 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, by three women mechanics.
They defied the odds in a male-dominated field by establishing their own repair workshop, named after Gwenda Stewart, a pioneering and record-breaking racing driver.
The garage became a hub for women’s education and activism alongside the day-to-day of car repairs.
Now Gwenda's Garage: The Musical is coming to the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse at @sheffieldtheatres (15-25 October) and @swkplay (30 October-29 November).
@gwendasgarage is produced by @outofthearchive in association with Sheffield Theatres and with support including @aceagrams.
The original research, composition, writing and initial performance were funded by @historicengland.
