Badapple Theatre presents ‘Back to the Land Girls’
2026-10-02 06:30 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | Village Hall, Chapel Lane, Ashbury, Oxforshire, SN6 8LS, United Kingdom
Badapple Theatre presents ‘Back to the Land Girls’ – On Friday 2nd October (doors
open at 6.30pm, 7.30pm start) we are delighted to welcome back the Badapple
Theatre group. ‘Back to the Land Girls’ was inspired by interviews with a number of
incredible women from Yorkshire who worked on the land during WW2. Their
comic and poignant stories led Kate Bramley to create the heart-warming journey of
Buff and Biddy who arrive in the countryside not knowing one end of a cow from the
other. Their camaraderie and friendship sustain them on a journey of back-breaking
work but delightful independence, of dreams of fame and romance and always the
hope that the end of the war is just around the corner.
We are pleased to offer an early bird discount of £12.50 a ticket,
normally £15. Concessions are also £12.50. Please purchase your tickets through the
website (a £1 booking fee has to be
added) https://www.badappletheatre.co.uk/product/back-to-the-land-girlsashbury/ or contact Sandra Dagnall on 07773 379703.
