Description for We Happy Few
Paperback. We Happy Few follows a seven-woman amateur troupe as it travels the country's schools and village greens during the Second World War playing a repertoire of Shakespeare and other classics. Disasters happen, triumphs occur, but above all the show must go on.. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 200 x 146 x 10. Weight in Grams: 148.
A comedy drama about an all-female theatre company touring Britain during the darkest days of World War Two, written by the well-known actress and premiered in the West End.
While the men are fighting Hitler and the bombs are falling on London, a 'girls only' theatre company sets out in a battered 1920s Rolls-Royce to bring Shakespeare to a culture-starved Britain.
Imogen Stubbs' play We Happy Few was inspired by the real-life Osiris Players, whose travelling productions during the War inspired many to take up the profession - Judi Dench to name but one.

The Times
'By far and away the funniest and saddest backstage play for half a century... If there has been a better or more achingly theatrical new play in the West End in the past year then I've not seen or heard of it'
