Careless Talk
A one woman comedy drama: a true story of high treason, espionage and spam fritters. The only British person to be tried for treason in the Second World War takes to the stage for the first time.
Was Mabel a collaborator? A visionary? Or just an outsider? Was she the victim of a witch hunt? Or the victim of her own uncompromising nature?
Join Mabel on Sandown Beach with her secateurs, sequinned tassels and heartfelt – if misguided – self-belief in this frequently hilarious but ultimately moving play.
A true story of high treason and espionage, “Careless Talk” (James Frield), adapted by Ali Williams, opens a dialogue on the justice system in this country; who does it protect, how and why? And what of those who fall through the net, the unpopular, the uncompromising? This dialogue is as relevant now as it was then.
