In Her Defence is a bold new British musical comedy set in 1987, following Donna, a fiery single mum whose world is turned upside down when she discovers her husband's affair, only to find herself thrust into a messy custody battle that threatens everything she holds dear. As gossip spreads through her tight-knit neighbourhood faster than the morning post, Donna must navigate solicitors, awkward encounters, unexpected allies and the chaos of rebuilding her life while trying to hold her family together. With a sharp-tongued best friend by her side, a very questionable postman never too far away, and an ex-husband determined to rewrite history, Donna soon discovers that standing up for yourself is never as straightforward as it seems. Packed with outrageous comedy, heartfelt moments, and an original score bursting with wit, warmth and 80s-inspired energy, In Her Defence is a celebration of resilience, friendship and finding your voice when the world expects you to stay silent. Full of unforgettable characters, laugh-out-loud musical numbers and plenty of British charm, this brand-new musical proves that sometimes the strongest defence is refusing to back down.
