Think of England - 1940s POPUP Tea Dance event

[AIAWTC]

Anonymous is a Woman Theatre Company are coming to Sheffield with their brand new play Think of England, supported by Live and Local and Arts Council England.

 

Two women on a mission to show you a good time!

Based on real events ‘Think of England’ is a rollicking new play about courage, bravery & swing dancing.

In the Spring of 1942, Bett and Vera travel the country hosting tea dances for RAF fighter pilots stationed nearby. What the locals don’t know is that the dance is a cover for the girls’ real purpose; to send the men off to fight having experienced all of life’s pleasures...

Just like the women on whom the show is based, AIAWTC will be travelling the country boosting morale with this heart-warming knees up. The audience will be invited to drink, dance, and raise a glass to good King George whilst watching this captivating drama.

Developed with ‘Live & Local’ as part of their ‘Developing Artists in Rural Touring’ Scheme, the play has been supported by Arts Council England.
