What: We Happy Few is based on a true story; a group of women from a range of backgournds form a 'girls only' theatre company during the second world war. They take to the road in a 1920's rolls royce to perform shakespears plays in schools and village halls, bringing culture to the masses during this time of suffering and hardship. Mostly a comedy, the play also shows war and how it effects peoples lives through an unlikely group of wartime heroes.

This first play by the actress Imogen Stubbs is directed by Trevor Nunn and producerd by Bill Kenwright. It stars include Juliet Stevenson, Marcia Warren, Kate O’Mara, Patsy Palmer, Caroline Blakiston, Paul Bentley, Rosemary McHale, Adam Davy, Cat Simmons and Emma Darwall-Smith.
