The Passing Out Parade

 

As 2005 is the year of Women in War, the New City Players present The Passing Out Parade - a play set in a time when women from all over the country were conscripted into the Services.

The Passing Out Parade is about one service, the ATS, and the problems encountered in turning raw recruits into a disciplined team who will take war duties from soldiers to release them for the forthcoming invasion of Europe of June 1944.

Despite the storyline, there is plenty of comedy along with a host of well-known wartime songs.
