Mikron Theatre is now in its 48th year of touring, and its latest production, All Hands On Deck, sails into Our Lady Of Hope Church in Ellesmere Park on Wednesday 24th April.
The show - 'a love story between the Royal Navy and their loyal Jenny Wrens' - is set to a backdrop of women joining the Royal Navy and contributing towards the war effort...
"New WRNS recruits Ginger and Lily are looking for wartime adventure" states Mikron "Lily wants to serve on dry land, but Ginger is desperate to serve at sea - and the sailors can't believe their luck! Our Wrens show pays tribute to all those wartime women who pushed the door to opportunity firmly open. Full of dots, dashes, semaphore and song, Ginger and Lily find themselves in uncharted waters on a journey they'll never forget."
Playwright and former Mikron actor, Vashti Maclachlan, who penned last year's Revolting Women, has had a great time steering the ship on All Hands On Deck...
"It's been a pleasure to write again for Mikron in its 48th year and an honour to shine a spotlight on the tireless women who gave their all to shape a Women's Royal Navy Service fit for the future" she says.
"I've always been interested in the Wrens" explains Marianne McNamara, Mikron's Artistic Director "They've been suggested as an interesting subject matter by a number of audience members who were related to Wrens. There are plenty of plays about the war but not that many that explore women's contributions to the war. It's been fascinating to research their story and to celebrate their endeavours."
