In 1918, Avonmouth was the centre of Britain’s chemical warfare industry with two factories making & filling shells with deadly mustard gas. The factories employed hundreds of local women & girls. There were hundreds of accidents, nearly 3,000 casualties & several deaths.
‘Gas Girls’ tells the untold story of the women who worked in the factories. The show was researched & devised by 20 local people and directed by ACTA directors, Neil Beddow & Ingrid Jones.
