Factory story to be staged

The story of thousands of Shropshire workers will take to the stage in the county later this year – and tickets are selling fast.

Silhouette, a show by Chris Eldon Lee, will tell the story of the underwear factory workers in Shrewsbury in the 1960s. It is a mix of comedy, nostalgia, '60s music – and plenty of period underwear.

It will be on at Market Drayton Festival Centre on November 13 and 14 (01630) 654444, and at Shrewsbury's Theatre Severn from November 17 to 21 (01743) 281281.

The performances will feature the Mere Singers and '60s band the Old Sew and Sews.
