A show about women munitions workers in WW1 - 'Canary Girls' - Mikron Theatre Company
Those wonderful people The Mikron Theatre who are based in Marsden and tour in Narrow
Boats on the Canals of Britain, are touring with a show about two sisters who
become munitions workers in the First World War. ‘Canary Girls’ is the title, reflecting the
nick-name given to the munitions workers of WW1 because the chemicals involved
in the making of the ammunition turned their skin yellow. Written by Laurence Peacock with music
composed by O’Howley and Tidlow, designer Kate Morton, directed by Marianne
McNamara, the show promises to be fantastic.
Performances begin on 23rd April at Marsden Royal British
Legion at 7.30 p.m.
