The Great Pies of Denby Dale
written by Bryn Walker and Megan Farquhar, directed by Evie Kerr
'A pie is a meal in a briefcase’
'Where on earth did you hear that!?’
Dot and George, two strange and timeless pie makers, wait by the oven. This might take some time. These two have seen it all, right back to the early glimmers of pie, stayed with it through its terrible ‘coffyn’ era, and basked in its glory at the feasting tables of Kings and Queens. But the looming question is: what’s next? What do you do after you’ve achieved greatness? Well, when the small village of Denby Dale in Yorkshire decide to make a series of the biggest pies the world has ever seen, Dot and George see their chance. Greatness is in their grasp once more – that is, as long as they don’t seriously mess it up!

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
