The Ruck

Written by Kevin Fegan
Directed by Joyce Branagh

From the Golden Mile to the Gold Coast comes a new play inspired by the real life story of the first UK girls’ rugby league team to tour Australia.

All the way from Yorkshire, the original ‘County of Origin’ of Rugby League, comes a new force to be reckoned with in the sport – the mighty Batley Girls Under 16 team.

Growing up in Batley, these women are used to a challenge; but are they prepared for what’s in store on the other side of the world?

The Ruck is an energetic story told with physical theatre and music, written by award-winning playwright Kevin Fegan and directed by Joyce Branagh.
