Cast: Gillian Hardie, Leanne Martin, Louise Garcia.

We must always remember that we don’t truly understand, not completely, how another person feels, that despite the smiles and triumphant words shown and yelled to the world, we have no way of knowing the pain they suffer behind closed doors. The world of social media has perhaps exacerbated that sense of false bonhomie, putting on a face for the world in digital form when all you want to do is lock yourself away and deal with the grief that has been placed at your door.

Every so often the sound of three gunshots echoes around the Unity Theatre. The effect it has on the audience is one that is just as chilling on the soul as the realisation that what the writer Darren Guy and Director Mikyla Jane Durkan have put together is so rooted in Greek history that as an audience member it’s possible to feel shame for the lack of knowledge you have as the true story of the many women arrested and tortured in Greece after World War Two for the crime of fighting Fascism and Nazism.
