​AREA 8 - THE STORY OF STROUD DISTRICT IN WORLD WAR TWO
Written and performed by John Bassett

Picture
​Based on the book written by Captain P R Symonds, Area 8 is a lively, funny, poignant performance looking at the experiences of the Civil Defence Services and A.R. P. in Stroud and Nailsworth.
 
The performance takes in all aspects of life during wartime from rationing and nursing to what to do in an emergency and what the cry “Rallyho!” means
