Thought this would be a sure-fire winner with Rural audiences; the audience here were all of a "certain age"
But it's a dud, sadly.
The girls just don't get the idiom of the time; though their pincurls were fabulous, their uniforms realistic, they just didn't look the part somehow.
Plot was sketchy and far too much wandering on and off stage without much purpose; central story of an unwanted pregnancy- or two- ( I know there were a lot during the war, but two in one Nissen hut!?)- diverted by the petty squabbling between the characters most of which was not developed sufficiently to make sense or be interesting.
Took place in a conference room in a swish hotel; so size-wise it is perfect, but needs more work!
