Augustus Maybury (aka Augustus Jones-Maybury in 1970s) Male second lead. 1914 era Augustus is the son of the factory owner, "nouveaux riche", and insecure in his class, and so rejects Grace as beneath him.. 1970s era Gus is the professional footballer fiancé of Grace. Plays left back for Liverpool. He has mellowed as his current position is based on his own footballing ability.
This musical is based on true events set over three timelines from WW1 through to the near future featuring the same characters. Three generations of women battle for their right to play football. Lotte, one of the main protagonists tells the story of her family which has produced generations of world class female footballers. As well as tales of loss, class discrimination and unrequited love we journey through the history of women’s football. From WW1 to the 1970s to a future where women players win equal status to men.
Music composed by Andrea Vicari
