The Boadicea of Britannia Street
by Ade Morris

Widow, poet and cat lover Fran Lamb, a writer for local newspaper The Winkham Weekly Snooze , decides to start up her own creative writing group.

She is joined at the Winkham Memorial Institute by panicked P.E. teacher Penny, shy librarian Janet, and Annie, a housewife whose mysterious anxiety causes her to substitute the correct words for entirely the wrong ones.

From this uncompromising beginning, the four women soon form plans to write and perform a play about Boadicea, ancient East Anglican queen and feminist icon.

(“Boadicea, Britannia, it's all the same thing: British womanhood in full armour!”) Over the course of several weeks, home truths are gradually shared – along with tea and vodka – and soon Fran, Janet, Penny and Annie find themselves needing to draw on heroic reserves of their own.

The Boadicea of Britannia Street is a funny and very touching play about female friendship by the author of Micky Salberg’s Crystal Ballroom Dance Band and I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls .
