CARELESS TALK
Price Inclusive of Booking Fee
A true story of high treason, espionage, spam fritters;
with Ali Williams, a versatile hat-stand and one stunning frock.
The only British person to be tried and charged with treason in the Second World War takes to the stage for the first time. Was Mabel a collaborator? A visionary? Or just an outsider? Was she the victim of a witch hunt? Or the victim of her own uncompromising nature? Join Mabel on Sandown Beach with her secateurs, sequined tassels and heartfelt - if misguided - self-belief.
Based on the novel 'Careless Talk' by James Friel, shortlisted for the John Llewelyn Rhys Prize.
