Ladies' Day

Ladies’ Day follows the fortunes of a group of four female friends who work together in a fish processing plant in Hull, and who decide to attend Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot, relocated for one year to York.  In the course of the day they find out much more about each other, and themselves, than they had in many years working together in the factory.

The four women aren’t just at the heart of the play; they are the play.  Amanda Whittington’s script is full of insights into human nature, as well as amusing period details, and the director drew out these insights and details with her tight-knit and talented team of principals.  The development of these women’s characters was skilfully portrayed and the very high quality of their ensemble work was the most admirable aspect of the production.
