Elsie and Mairi Go to War

This well-acted tale follows two heroines of WWI dispatched to Belgium as ambulance drivers. Using extracts from the women’s diaries and contemporary press interviews, the play is adapted from a book by Diane Atkinson, who here ill-advisedly narrates large sections from the wings, instead of letting two clearly skilled actors play it out themselves, leaving us high on initial interest but short on the requisite drama.
