AN evocative production about courage, bravery and exception in World War One will be coming to The Hive Studio on Friday, May 1.

Anonymous is a Woman's Theatre Company is this week performing F.A.N.Y at The Coach House in Malvern until Saturday (April 25) before bringing it to Worcester.

The production brings to life the front line reality of the Great War from a rarely seen perspective - a woman's.

Focusing on five women in the First Aid Nursery Yeomanry, it tells the incredible story of the women who drove ambulances from the bloody battlefields to the nearby hospitals.

It is based on real accounts accessed from the Imperial War Museum and taking inspiration from a novel by Robert Radcliffe.

With the centenary of World War One last year, the group felt it was the perfect time for their story to be told.

After performing an extract at last year's Women's History Network Conference in Worcester to delegates from across the world, the company are going on a ten-venue tour with the production as part of the Imperial War Museums' Centenary Partnership.

Anonymous was set up by two graduates, one of which, Leila Sykes, grew up in Malvern.

It's aim is to bring audiences high quality, engaging, theatrical experiences that tell the unheard stories of women throughout history and across the world.

Tickets for the show at The Hive, which begins at 2.30pm, cost £10.

The show at the Coach House takes place at 7.30pm with 2pm matinees on Thursday and Saturday with tickets available from malvern-tickets.co.uk.
