In Her Defence is a British musical comedy written by Harrison Cranfield. The production is set in 1987 and will be performed at The Cockpit in London on 29 August 2026. Tickets are priced at £16.45 for full price and £13.36 for concessions.
A bold, heartfelt and hilariously British new musical set in 1987. In Her Defence, an original British musical comedy written by Harrison Cranfield, will make its debut at Camden Fringe this August. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1987, the production follows Donna, a fiery single mother whose life is turned upside down when she discovers her husband’s affair, only to find herself caught in the middle of a chaotic custody battle. As gossip spreads through her close-knit neighbourhood faster than the morning post, Donna must navigate solicitors, awkward encounters, unexpected allies and the challenge of rebuilding her life while protecting the people she loves most. Alongside a sharp-tongued best friend and a very questionable postman, Donna discovers that finding her voice may be the most important battle of all. Blending laugh-out-loud comedy with genuine emotional warmth, In Her Defence captures the spirit of 1980s Britain through colourful characters, sharp dialogue and an original score full of wit and heart. The musical explores themes of resilience, friendship, family and standing up for yourself when the world expects you to stay silent.
