Goosfest -Back to the Land Girls – A play presented by Bad Apple Theatre Company
One of ‘Badapple’s best-loved classic shows is back after 15 years! This show includes beautiful songs written by SONY Award Winning songwriter, and BBC Radio 4 host, Jez Lowe (who appeared at Goosfest some years back!).
‘Back to the Land Girls’ was inspired by interviews with incredible women from Yorkshire who worked on the land during WW2. Their comic and poignant stories led Kate Bramley to create the heartwarming journey of Buff and Biddy who arrive in the countryside not knowing one end of a cow from the other. Their camaraderie and friendship sustain them on a journey of back breaking work but delightful independence, of dreams of fame and romance and always the hope that the end of the war is just around the corner.
Goostrey being a village focused on farming and food production in WW2 had its own rich history relating to the ‘Land Army’. A number of images can be found in the Goostrey Village Archive.
