The debut play by Imogen Stubbs, the acclaimed actress.

At a time when the world is without men, and the country is ravaged by war, a motley and eccentric collection of women bring strength, courage and Shakespeare to a nation suffering from complete dramatic famine. We Happy Few charts the true wartime history of the Osiris Players, who embarked on a cultural crusade touring Britain in their battered 1920s Rolls Royce, performing a repertory of Shakespeare’s Plays to those in need of diversion and delight.

We Happy Few is touching and witty play that reveals how these unlikely women survive to become unconventional heroes.

Suggested age: 13+
