Description:

How will history remember you? As the person you are or, the person you want to be? It’s 1939 and Philomena is on her way from Dublin to London to join the British war effort. But can she live true to the poet inside her when she is constantly being defined by her role in the war? Philomena is a poignant and funny solo play, infused with poetry and inspired by the true stories of Irish nurses in WWII. 'Charming, funny, soulful and heartfelt' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). ***** (TheWeeReview.com). ***** (TheEdinburghReporter.co.uk). ***** (TheatreAndArtReviews.com).
