Lilies on the Land
Devised by the Lions part Directed by Norma York 19-26 May 2018 at 7.45pm (Not Sun) and 2.30pm on 26 May |
|
A lovely assembly of stories and memories of the Land Army Girls of World War 2.
Based on letters and interviews with original Land Girls this play is a revealing, funny and wonderfully moving portrait of Britain's pluckiest unsung heroines doing their best for the war effort. We hear about the harsh reality of early hours, rough hands, mice in work clothes and backbreaking work - but looking back they say they would do it all again. |

Folk at the Chesil
The Itchen Folk Band are a Compton & Shawford based group whose dynamic programmes are made up with a variety of traditional songs from the British Isles and the US together with contemporary material. The emphasis is on audience participation in the choruses (with words provided where necessary!) and their sets are always fun and varied. The Band has around ten musicians who harmonise and provide accompaniment using guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bass, banjo and accordion, and have been playing together for two years. The Itchen Folk band are delighted to have been invited to the Chesil to perform at a fund raising event for the theatre. |
