It’s Bonfire Night 2024. Sheila, Denise, Julie and Fay are Team ‘C’ in Pennine Mineral Water Ltd’s annual outward bound team building weekend. Somehow, Sheila has been nominated Team Leader where, using her cryptic crossword solving skills, she has unwittingly stranded her team on Rampsholme Island in Derwentwater. Our intrepid heroines find themselves manufacturing weapons from cable ties and spatulas and create a rescue flag with plastic plates and a toasting fork. Questions are asked, truths are told and dirty washing is aired, including discussions of mental illness and suicide. Watch as the ‘team’ dissolve – will they ever make it off the island?
The production was directed by Benita Blacklock (who directed our last award-winning production ‘Lucky Sods’ back in 2019) assisted by Andy Williams.
