Created by Lewis Barfoot, Hannah Kimpton and Andi Osho.
In the spring of 1941, high on the roof tops overlooking the Café de Paris, Vi and Margaret started their Fire Watch shift. Facing fear, betrayal and desire head on, these women delve into the roots of true friendship and embark on a journey of great self discovery. A journey that reaches its climactic conclusion the night the Café de Paris is razed to the ground by a bomb attack. A cast of two women deftly recreate a myriad of characters.
Directed by Kath Burlinson.
