Redbridge Youth Theatre Workshop Presents...

The Glove Thief

The year is 1569, and in a cold, stone room in a Staffordshire castle, a group of women sew elaborate tapestries. Rich or poor, at home or held against their will, four women’s lives intersect on the point of a needle.

Embroidery is their escape, their sanity, and their expression: of love, loss, artistry and power. For these women’s stitches have the power to change not just their own lives, but the course of English history.

‘They did not understand, you see, that what is stitched with a needle is not always innocent… Needles are dangerous.’
