Washboard Blues

A community play for a large cast and a wide audience, "Washboard Blues" tells the story of ordinary women in the 1950s. In a municipal wash-house, a group of friends meet and talk their way through the weekly laundry. Love, laughter, lies; deprivations, delights and dreams - Lily is searching for stardom as a clubland singer, but Lonnie Donegan and Elvis are waiting in the wings - is the music world moving on too quickly?
