Think of 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 Summer of 1943, Bette 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 about two women in WWII.
Developed with ‘Live & Local’ as part of their
‘Developing Artists in Rural Touring’ Scheme, the play has been supported by
Arts Council England.
