St. Mark's Artspace 16 - 30 August @ 14.45 Silvery Moon Productions
This show offers a sing-along opportunity for the audience – a whistle-stop tour of no less than 30 fondly remembered songs from the war years. A piano accompanies Tricia Dibb and Lynn Radnege as Lottie and Lena, a couple of Midland lassies telling us about their boys that went off to fight for king and country.
Some of the songs may benefit from a change in key to help the vocal delivery, but it is genuinely touching to see the memories that haunt the audience through these songs.
These ladies evidently enjoy their singing and have a strong personal connection with their anecdotes.
