Players Angels at the Lantern Theatre, Sheffield

Written by Amanda Whittington, ‘Players Angels’ is soon to be performed at The Lantern Theatre by Sheffield amateur theatre group The Dilys Guite Players. Based on the real life stories of women working in the tobacco industry, the play runs from Monday 14th December to Saturday 19th December.

“It’s 1953 and all the girls want to work at Players, the biggest and best employer in town. The Players Angels have a good wage, a tobacco allowance and quite a reputation. On the factory floor, Cyn dreams of being a beauty queen and Vee adjusts to married life. Widowed Glad and her young supervisor Bill have a secret of their own. When Glad’s young niece Mae comes to work at Players, they won’t be able to keep it for long.”

The Lantern Theatre, Sheffield’s only small Victorian theatre, is in Nether Edge. Tickets available via the Lantern Theatre website tickets page or call 0114 236 2608. Tickets are £6.50 pre-paid and £7 on the door. Starts @7.30pm. See you there!
