While the men are fighting Hitler and bombs are blitzing London, they embark on a crazy adventure.

Crammed into a battered 1920s Rolls Royce, these hopelessly mismatched individuals, from entirely different social backgrounds, toured the length and breadth of the country, discovering the reality of life without men.

They experience success, failure,comedy and tragedy - plus a great deal of discomfort.

The play runs from July 18 to July 21, 7.30pm nightly.

Tickets cost £7 and £6 from the Horncastle music shop or www.horncastletheatre.co.uk
