TOMMY ATKINS AND THE CANARY GIRL
Based on archive records, “Tommy Atkins and The Canary Girl” focuses on the lives and experiences of workers at the Gloucester munitions factory and local soldiers during the First World War. The powerful, emotional and sometimes funny performance looks at the hardships endured by soldiers in the trenches and the largely untold story of the changes to the lives of the women at home in “blighty”.

Audience comments:
"Wonderful performance looking at hidden stories of World War One - powerful and touching."
"I have seen a lot of theatre and this was the performance of the year!"
