The Girls Of Slender Means Trailer

Fri 19 Apr - Sat 4 May
Drama adapted by Gabriel Quigley, from the novel by Muriel Spark
Directed by Roxana Silbert
‘We were girls together during the war. In a boarding house for women on the Bayswater Road called The May of Teck Club. It was 1945, when all the nice people were poor... allowing for exceptions.’
Set in the summer of 1945, The Girls of Slender Means follows the adventures of a group of young women who are caught between hope and unhappiness. As each girl grapples with what happened in the war, they begin to imagine what lies ahead of them in peacetime. A Schiaparelli gown, suitors and bacon rations are all bartered with in this lively and moving stage adaption of Spark's seminal novel.
Romance, work, fashion and politics collide in The Girls of Slender Means as the girls find joy amongst the rubble.
Production supported by James and Morag Anderson and Margaret Duffy and Peter Williamson
