Description "The Monstrous Regiment's musical cabaret looks at the contradictions which surround the world of women at work. In a dozen musical numbers we sing about: women working for pin money, women working in factories and offices, women working in the house, women working in pursuit of those 'glittering prizes'. And yet, can equal career opportunities by themselves really bring about fundamental changes in a fundamentally unequal society? Why and how are women doubly oppressed?"
