COMING UP: 'BACK TO THE LAND GIRLS'
ON TOUR VARIOUS DATES APR- JUN 2010
'BACK TO THE LAND GIRLS'

A comedy written and directed by Kate Bramley (ex-Hull Truck Theatre)
Original music by Jez Lowe (Radio 2 SONY ACADEMY AWARD winner)

'Some girls just aren't cut out for farming...'

It's 1942, and there are some new arrivals in the village. They're turning heads and breaking hearts as the fine girls of the Women's Land Army take to the hills.

Buff is a city girl dreaming of being 'just like Vera Lynn', while Biddy is a country girl who is 'now't but a hopeless romantic'. Join them on a journey of blisters, back-ache and banter as they learn all there is to know about working on the land.

This brand new show is the latest comedy two-hander from Badapple's resident writer as she celebrates the highs and lows of the wonderful women who helped keep Britain fed during World War II, set against a backdrop of glorious music of the age, as well as new tunes by songwriter Jez Lowe.

Although a fictional tale this play owes much to the reminiscences of a number of Land Army Girls who contributed their own personal stories to this exciting new comedy.

"This is a production brimming with creativity and talent. If you get the chance to go and see this do, as it is a joyful and uplifting experience" York Press "One of the region's brightest lights in touring theatre." NORTHERN ECHO www.badappletheatre.com
