When war breaks out in 1939, Molly’s plans to go to university are shattered and instead she finds herself signing up as a Land Girl and boarding a train to Devon.
Meanwhile, a farmer’s daughter, Enid, is thrust into new experiences when Dartmoor suddenly becomes home to evacuees, soldiers, medics and, of course, the Land Girls.
This fast-paced, two-hander performance pulls inspiration from true local stories explored through the eyes of two young women and the wartime events that bring them together. Written and performed by MED Theatre’s professional staff, the stories draw from extensive research into local history.
A 45-minute show for the whole family!
“OUTSTANDING! Pacey, funny and moving… Just made you realise how important it was for people to really party and have fun, because so much of life was dire.”
‘Devon’s War Girls’ is perfect for both indoor and outdoor performances, and has been performed in museums, libraries, at WW2 events, and in schools as part of their local history studies.
“Thank you so much, that was excellent – so funny and I loved all of the puppets and characters!”
Mia got caught up reading one of her favourite books in the corner of the library, but when she realises it has gotten dark outside, it’s too late… she’s locked in!
Join Mia as she meets lots of interesting characters in her attempt to escape the building, and the possibility of being stuck in the world of books forever.
35 minutes running time and suitable for families with children of any age.
‘Locked in the Library’ was created in collaboration with young people from the Newton Abbot area, in partnership with Libraries Unlimited.
“Such a beautiful way to remind us that climate change is not a modern day problem.”
“I loved the different perspective and prehistory that was so gently explained”
