A true story of high treason, espionage, spam fritters;
with Ali Williams, a versatile hat-stand and one stunning frock.
The only British person to be tried and charged with 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, sequined tassels and heartfelt - if misguided - self-belief.
Based on the novel 'Careless Talk' by James Friel, shortlisted for the John Llewelyn Rhys Prize.
About This Show
Careless Talk is a cross between a wonderfully observed Victoria Wood sketch of everyday life and an episode of ‘Dad’s Army’.
'Superbly acted by Ali Williams, who effortlessly embodies all the characters in a tour de force performance, displaying a range of accents and mannerisms at a heady pace, with great skill and vitality'.
'A female National Theatre of Brent' (The Stage)
