Description
Ali Williams and The Playground Theatre Presents
Careless Talk
18th-19th SEPT | 7:30PM
20th SEPT | 4PM
Written and Performed by Ali Williams
Adapted from the novel by James Friel
Based on a true story and adapted from the novel by James Friel, ‘Careless Talk’ charts the tale of Mabel Bancroft, an Isle of Wight landlady, charged with treason for spying in the Second World War.
Was Mabel a collaborator? A visionary? A victim?
Based on a true story, this tale opens a dialogue on the justice system in this country; who does it protect, how and why?
'A cross between Victoria Wood and Dad's Army... this is a show you won't want to miss...' 'superbly acted by Ali Williams, who effortlessly embodies all the characters in a tour de force performance,'
