⭐ NANCY BRABIN-PLATT, SIA KIWA, EVA SCOTT, LUCY MACKAY, GEORGINA CORAM & LIZ KITCHEN ANNOUNCED FOR WORLD PREMIERE OF GWENDA’S GARAGE ⭐
The cast for the world premiere of new musical GWENDA’S GARAGE has been announced.
GWENDA’S GARAGE, the next big British musical which comes to Sheffield Theatres’ Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse and Southwark Playhouse Borough this autumn.
Starring as the three pioneering women mechanics who founded Gwenda’s Garage are Nancy Brabin-Platt (Doctor Who) as Bev, Sia Kiwa (Tina – The Tina Turner Musical) as Terry and Eva Scott (A Knight’s Tale) as Carol.
They are joined by Lucy Mackay (Sappho) as their mechanic apprentice Dipstick and Georgina Coram (Robin Windsor – The Final Act) who plays ally Feona.
All other roles are played by Liz Kitchen (Fiddler on the Roof, Sister Act) who also features as the show’s drummer and associate musical director.
This rousing new musical is based on the true story of the real GWENDA’S GARAGE, founded in 1985 in Sheffield and named after Gwenda Stewart, a record-breaking racing driver in the early 20th century.
Ros Wollen (aka Roz), Annette Williams, and Ros Wall defied the odds as mechanics in a male-dominated field. Their garage became a hub for women’s education and activism alongside the day-to-day of car repairs against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain, the fight against Section 28 and the fight for women’s and LGBTQ+ rights.
GWENDA’S GARAGE is a joyful, exuberant, queer, call to arms, fired by fun, feminism, friendship, and above all an affirming belief in the power of collective action. Join these unstoppable women as they dismantle the patriarchy one spark plug at a time.
GWENDA’S GARAGE has a script by Nicky Hallett, with music by Val Regan and lyrics by Val Regan, in collaboration with Nicky Hallett.
GWENDA’S GARAGE will play Sheffield Theatres’ Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse, running from 15th – 25th October 2025 and then Southwark Playhouse Borough, running from 30th October – 29th November 2025, with tickets on sale now.
