PLAYER'S ANGELS SCRIPT NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY FROM NICK HERN BOOKS
It's 1953 and all the girls in Nottingham want to work at John Player's, the best employer in town. Player's Angels have a good wage, a tobacco allowance and a reputation. Cyn dreams of being a beauty queen and Vee adjusts to married life. Widowed Glad and her young supervisor Bill have a secret of their own but when Glad's niece Mae comes to work at Player's, they won't keep it much longer. Based on real stories of the tobacco industry, Player's Angels was also staged in Bristol as The Wills's Girls and became a BBC Radio Four Woman's Hour serial.
"It is the recollection of good times now distant - comradeship, simple pleasures, support for those in trouble - which makes this a joyous evening as well as a very funny one". The Stage.
