Monday 6 – Saturday 11 October
The Party Girls
The true story of the Mitford sisters is told in Jewish playwright Amy Rosenthal’s new show. The five women navigated their way through pre-war high society, chasing different paths at a time of rising fascism and political uncertainty. See their story unfold through the viewpoint of Jessica (aka Decca), as she strives to stay true to her beliefs while drifting further from her once beloved sisters, crossing continents on a romantic quest. Nancy aspires to be a celebrated writer, Diana and Unity become attracted to the dangerous, charismatic far right leaders in Britain and Germany, and Debo sets her eyes on a Duke.
7.30pm, 2.30pm (Thu & Sat only). From £25. Birmingham Rep, B1 2EP. www.birmingham-rep.co.uk
