This two-hander play mixes poetry, storytelling and music, to tell the story of a local shop spanning 100 years from 1919 to present day.

Telling stories of the women that have made up the shop's history, whilst also showing how the lives of women have changed over the last century, this funny, poignant and heart-warming story will resonate with all ages and will make you think about what the next 100 years will hold for us.

Miss Nobodies, was inspired by outreach done online and in the community of Great Harwood alongside research into local history and prominent figures of Lancashire. This research uncovered stories of women like Ethel Carnie Holdsworth, a writer who worked in the mills in the early part of the last century. She is sited as the first working class, female novelist in the UK and parts of her poetry are used throughout the play to punctuate the story.

suitable for ages 12+
