Keep home fires burning

Wives, mothers, sisters and daughters are so often omitted from the annuls of WWII, but their contribution to the war effort, taking on the jobs the men had to leave, in factories, on the land, driving fire engines and ambulances and keeping the country on its feet, must never be forgotten.

Apollo Theatre Company presents this brand new show which uses real accounts of women who lived through the war, punctuated beautifully with some of the most enduring music and songs from the period.
