ABOUT
‘[The pamphlet] was very patriotic. That is, it talked about killing foreigners.’
In the small, yet wildly aggressive country of Borogravia, there are strict rules citizens must follow. For a start, women belong in the kitchen — not in jobs, pubs, or indeed, trousers. And certainly not anywhere near the front line.
Polly Perks has to become a boy in a hurry if she wants to find her missing brother in the army. Cutting off her hair and wearing the trousers is easy. Going to war, however, is not.
Polly and her fellow raw recruits are suddenly in the thick of a losing battle. All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army, any army, and a vampire with a lust for coffee. Oh, also a troll and an Igor.
It’s time to make a stand.
‘Do you think it’s possible for an entire nation to be insane?’
Join us for a fun filled show; bring a picnic basket and something to drink. Seating will be at tables.
Warning: The show runs longer than most plays and is quite a bit over two hours, but there will be 2 intervals, and will be fun throughout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
