About this show
Set in 1980s Scotland during the Cold War, when nuclear bombs were a very real threat. The play is inspired by true events and real experiences, when one night in Peebleshire, Scotland, the unimaginable happened. Five scared, lost, turbulent young women grapple with the adversities and joys of life in the 80s, with the constant knowledge that their lives could be obliterated at any moment. In the face of nuclear war, how do they cope, love, and live?
