Iron Acton Parish Hall

This play follows a group of female actors touring Shakespeare and other classic plays, all around the country during World War II. 

It is based on Nancy Hewins' touring group, the Osiris Players and its title quotes the St Crispin's Day Speech from Henry V. They toured their set and costumes in a 1922 Silver Ghost Rolls Royce, sometimes did 4 shows a day and slept on hall floors! In total they did about 1,500 performances. 

Nancy lived in Willesley (near Westonbirt ) during her latter years.

As they performed in schools, village and town halls in hugely different locations in Britain, the setting is perfect for our village hall.

Tickets are £11 each with a booking and processing fee of £0.70 making £11.70 in total from www.actonians.co.uk
