Derby 1918. On the basis of fabricated evidence, Alice Wheeldon is sent to prison for 15 years for attempting to assassinate the Prime Minister. Her real crime: sheltering young men, voiding being conscripted to the armed forces. Alice’s story is a powerful human drama, exposing how far the British government will go to thwart the freedom of its citizen to oppose war. It is a stirring and relevant tale, brought to you by The Gloucester Theatre Company with their usual blend of imaginative staging, bewitching music and stunning choreographed movement. |
