The women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service were crucial to the domestic and international efforts of the British Army during World War II. Over 250,000 young girls signed to the ATS: many working out of Larkhill in Wiltshire. This new piece explores their stories using verbatim testimony and contemporaneous musical numbers. Talking Shadows has a passion for presenting forgotten, true stories which have been described as being 'Not a dry history lesson but a living memory' (1966: ***** CounterCultureUK.com); 'Intense, emotional, excellent' (OTMA: **** TheRealChrisparkle.com); 'Wonderful' (1612: **** The Mumble). Sell-out shows 2025.
