A big THANK YOU to all those who took part in the first script read-through at the Sefton Hotel. (Sunday 16th August.)

It was good to meet so many talented and enthusiastic people.

The next stage will be auditions and casting which will be taking place by appointment over the next few months.
Rehearsals will begin in January 2027.

This musical play is a work of pure fiction, though events created could have been entirely possible. The historical facts employed are all verified. Inspiration for the production came from Stephen Carvill’s famous sculpture of a girl knitting a gansey to be seen on North Pier in Bridlington Harbour.
